[Bug 618853] [NEW] missing usb hid quirk for CH Products Joystick

[Roger E Critchlow Jr]

Public bug reported:

The CH Products Flightstick Pro USB joystick is recognized by the
system, but produces no input events after the first batch of synthetic
events.  Research on the linux-usb mailing list found that several other
CH Products joysticks require a hid quirk to become fully functional.  I
adapted earlier quirk patches to this joystick, patched linux-
source-2.6.32, built a custom kernel with the basename linux-
image-2.6.32.15+drm33.5, and tested that the patches do enable this
joystick to work correctly.

The patch is attached.  It adds a new USB device id to the CH_PRODUCTS
group and then adds that device id to the list of CH_PRODUCTS joysticks
that require HID_QUIRK_NOGET.

I didn't explicitly set out to test against the upstream kernel, but
2.6.32.15+drm33.5 is the listed upstream kernel for the current Lucid
generic kernel that I have installed.

The joystick was tested with the flightgear flight simulator and the
jstest application from the joystick package.
