The LEGO-wiimote uses a different VID than the Nintendo ID. The device is
technically the same so add the ID.

Revert some changes done in 774638386826621c984ab6994439f474709cac5e.

Revert all changes done in hidinput_calc_abs_res as it mistakingly used
"Unit" item exponent nibbles to affect resolution value. This wasn't
breaking resolution calculation of relevant axes of any existing
devices, though, as they have only one dimension to their units and thus
1 in the corresponding nible.

Revert to reading "Unit Exponent" item value as a signed integer in
hid_parser_global to fix reading specification-complying values. This
fixes resolution calculation of devices complying to the HID standard,
including Huion, KYE, Waltop and UC-Logic graphics tablets which have
their report descriptors fixed by the drivers.

Explanations follow.

There are two "unit exponents" in HID specification and it is important
not to mix them. One is the global "Unit Exponent" item and another is
nibble values in the global "Unit" item. See 6.2.2.7 Global Items.

The "Unit Exponent" value is just a signed integer and is used to scale
the integer resolution unit values, so fractions can be expressed.

The nibbles of "Unit" value are used to select the unit system (nibble
0), and presence of a particular basic unit type in the unit formula and
its *exponent* (or power, nibbles 1-6). And yes, the latter is in two
complement and zero means absence of the unit type.

Taking the representation example of (integer) joules from the
specification:

[mass(grams)][length(centimeters)^2][time(seconds)^-2] * 10^-7

the "Unit Exponent" would be -7 (or 0xF9, if stored as a byte) and the
"Unit" value would be 0xE121, signifying:

Nibble  Part        Value   Meaning
-----   ----        -----   -------
0       System      1       SI Linear
1       Length      2       Centimeters^2
2       Mass        1       Grams
3       Time        -2      Seconds^-2

To give the resolution in e.g. hundredth of joules the "Unit Exponent"
item value should have been -9.

See also the examples of "Unit" values for some common units in the same
chapter.

However, there is a common misunderstanding about the "Unit Exponent"
value encoding, where it is assumed to be stored the same as nibbles in
"Unit" item. This is most likely due to the specification being a bit
vague and overloading the term "unit exponent". This also was and still
is proliferated by the official "HID Descriptor Tool", which makes this
mistake and stores "Unit Exponent" as such. This format is also
mentioned in books such as "USB Complete" and in Microsoft's hardware
design guides.

As a result many devices currently on the market use this encoding and
so the driver should support them.

Added id, bindings and comments for Holtek USB ID 04d9:a081 SHARKOON
DarkGlider Gaming mouse to use the same corrections of the report
descriptor as Holtek 04d9:a04a. As the mouse exceed HID_MAX_USAGES
at the same offsets in the reported descriptor.

When dealing with usage_index, be sure to properly use unsigned instead of
int to avoid overflows.

When working on report fields, always validate that their report_counts are
in bounds.
Without this, a HID device could report a malicious feature report that
could trick the driver into a heap overflow:

[  634.885003] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0596, idProduct=0500

Many drivers need to validate the characteristics of their HID report
during initialization to avoid misusing the reports. This adds a common
helper to perform validation of the report exisitng, the field existing,
and the expected number of values within the field.
