Description of problem:
The USB driver code mishandles HID devices which have generic desktop undefined
usages. The undefined usage is mistaken for a button usage.
The device where I see this is an Elo TouchSystems Accutouch touchscreen with
USB interface.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.plug in USB HID with a general desktop undefined usage. i.e. Elo AccutTouch 3000U.
2.Use evtest to check input event interface. A button is reported for the
undefined usage.
3.
