[PATCH] hid/hid-multitouch: Keep latency normal on deactivate for reactivation gesture

[Werner Sembach]

Uniwill devices have a built in gesture in the touchpad to de- and
reactivate it by double taping the upper left corner. This gesture stops
working when latency is set to high, so this patch keeps the latency on
normal.

Or should I better implement this as a quirk?

Forgot again to add cc stable, please add it if the patch gets accepted.

Yeah, I guess a quirk would be appreciated. The high latency on close
was introduced on purpose for saving energy purpose. So this patch is
rather not nice for those systems where it matters.

Cheers,
