HID: input: do not increment usages when a duplicate is found
This is something that bothered us from a long time. When hid-input doesn't know how to map a usage, it uses *_MISC. But there is something else which increments the usage if the evdev code is already used. This leads to few issues: - some devices may have their ABS_X mapped to ABS_Y if they export a bad set of usages (see the DragonRise joysticks IIRC -> fixed in a specific HID driver) - *_MISC + N might (will) conflict with other defined axes (my Logitech H800 exports some multitouch axes because of that) - this prevents to freely add some new evdev usages, because "hey, my headset will now report ABS_COFFEE, and it's not coffee capable". So let's try to kill this nonsense, and hope we won't break too many devices. I my headset case, the ABS_MISC axes are created because of some proprietary usages, so we might not break that many devices. For backward compatibility, a quirk HID_QUIRK_INCREMENT_USAGE_ON_DUPLICATE is created and can be applied to any device that needs this behavior.
