HID: handle cases of volume knobs generating relative values
There are some devices (for example Dell Multimedia Keyboard SK-8135) that have a volume control knob which generates relative events instead of absolute. hid-input maps them to ABS_VOLUME. HUT pages don't restrict volume to absolute values. Adding REL_VOLUME doesn't seem feasible, nothing knows how to handle it. This patch translates relative ABS_VOLUME events into appropriate number of series of VOLUME_UP or VOLUME_DOWN events respectively, so that userspace sees the correct values in the end. kernel.org bugzilla 5233 Reported-by: Jochen Eisinger <jochen@penguin-breeder.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
