Hi Sam,

well there are basically two main things that could happen if the device 
needs HID_QUIRK_NOGET and we don't set it in hid_blacklist[] - either it 
could timeout for ~10 seconds during initialization (as it would just drop 
the Get request), or it could respond with bogus values to Get request, 
and therefore the subsequent data processing would return bogus values. 
The common symptom for both cases is - the device just won't work as 
expected :)

And also proper Changelog please (i.e. "this device has that many input 
interfaces and so it needs HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT and it acts so and so and 
therefore needs HID_QUIRK_NOGET).

Thanks,
