It doesn't take us all the way to .33 for this particular driver, but
pretty close. There are essentially just two more commits beyond these
three that are in .33 [1] [2]. The first is merely code cleanup
replacing hardcoded ints with #defines. The second looks to be a
potential bug fix to separate out events that are reported in the same
data packet. It inserts a sync event between two different event reports
to distinguish them. If we see issues where people try to use
expresskeys and pens at the same time and they have issues then the
commit could fix it.
