With v6.11+, we can actually call hid_hw_output_report() and put the device
into raw mode, thus getting accurate events without being messed up.
Technically we could do the same on v6.10, but given that wayland, gnome
and KDE are still not capable of handling the dial, and that v6.10 is EOL,
we can safely save a little bit of compilation by only allowing v6.11+.
We can easily export the battery information to userspace by adding a
dedicated report. However, we need to cheat on the kernel to force it
not to query the battery by making the physical collection a stylus. The
kernel will then only rely on the events it gets from the device.
