Thanks. Could you please resubmit with proper Signed-off-by line, so that 
I could merge it into the HID tree?

I guess you are talking about HID_QUIRK_IGNORE quirk here, right? This 
quirk is generally not about input system at all - it just tells the 
generic hid driver to ignore this device completely, and lets another, 
device-specific, driver to take care.

HID input system accesses only those devices which contain input 
application in their hid descriptor, see the first for-loop in 
hidinput_connect(). Devices which don't have input application are not 
handled by hid-input at all. Such devices can be then still handled by 
hiddev.
Do you see any errorneous logic here?

Thanks,
