The WL Intuos4 still needs MSC_SERIAL since the tools have serial
number. The Bluetooth Graphire does not need MSC_SERIAL.

Protocol 4 devices in wacom_wac.c still report MSC_SERIAL, which is

No, P5 devices are not generic. They still report ABS_MISC for tool types.

You are right again ;). That's why I said we need users' testing feedback.

It sure helps. Thank you.
