HID: lg-g15: Do not fail the probe when we fail to disable F# emulation
By default the G1-G12 keys on the Logitech gaming keyboards send F1 - F12 when in "generic HID" mode. The first thing the hid-lg-g15 driver does is disable this behavior. We have received a bugreport that this does not work when the keyboard is connected through an Aten KVM switch. Using a gaming keyboard with a KVM is a bit weird setup, but still we can try to fail a bit more gracefully here. On the G510 keyboards the same USB-interface which is used for the gaming keys is also used for the media-keys. Before this commit we would call hid_hw_stop() on failure to disable the F# emulation and then exit the probe method with an error code. This not only causes us to not handle the gaming-keys, but this also breaks the media keys which is a regression compared to the situation when these keyboards where handled by the generic hidinput driver. This commit changes the error handling to clear the hiddev drvdata (to disable our .raw_event handler) and then returning from the probe method with success. The net result of this is that, when connected through a KVM, things work as well as they did before the hid-lg-g15 driver was introduced.
