The driver looks pretty good by now, just a few comments from me...

I'd rather had input_sync right in the report_tp_state, where the event
set is generated.

What will happen if bcm driver is attached first, before HID had a
chance to do its part?

Is this check needed? How can intfdata be NULL and we still get into
this function?

This will cause us to sumit URBs and start reporting events even though
there may be no users of the device (if it was not opened by anyone)
which defeats the purpose of implementing open and close methods of the
input device. You may want to implent start/pause_traffic function and
use them in open/close and suspend/resume.

Also, you need to have a locking that would serialize suspend/resume
with regard to open/close.

And the last request - could we do s/atp_/bcm5974/g so we don't get
confused with the original atp driver?
