[PATCH 1/7] Revert "HID: input: simplify/fix high-res scroll event handling"

[Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@redhat.com>]

This reverts commit 044ee890286153a1aefb40cb8b6659921aecb38b.

It turns out the current API is not that compatible with
some Microsoft mice, so better start again from scratch.
