Tomasz Kramkowski c3883fe064 HID: clamp input to logical range if no null state
This patch fixes an issue in drivers/hid/hid-input.c where values
outside of the logical range are not clamped when "null state" bit of
the input control is not set.

This was discussed on the lists [1] and this change stems from the fact
due to the ambiguity of the HID specification it might be appropriate to
follow Microsoft's own interpretation of the specification. As noted in
Microsoft's documentation [2] in the section titled "Required HID usages
for digitizers" it is noted that values reported outside the logical
range "will be considered as invalid data and the value will be changed
to the nearest boundary value (logical min/max)."

This patch fixes an issue where the (1292:4745) Innomedia INNEX
GENESIS/ATARI reports out of range values for its X and Y axis of the
DPad which, due to the null state bit being unset, are forwarded to
userspace as is. Now these values will get clamped to the logical range
before being forwarded to userspace. This device was also used to test
this patch.

This patch expands on commit 3f3752705d ("HID: reject input outside
logical range only if null state is set").

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
