It depends a lot on the driver internals if the bug affects it or not.
But fundamentally there was a confusion in enum type. The mismatch
basically caused driver to go to 'capture' mode immediately instead of
'await finger on' as intended. If the device does mandatory asynchronous
hardware finger recognition like uru does, there are high changes that
the bug affects it.
