[Philipp Spilger <philipp.spilger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just tested the latest upstream kernel and the problem still exists.
(with the same error message).

In my case, the issue was never resolved (with no older version). I only
got both the keyboard and the touchpad working with debian wheezy
(kernel version 3.2.0), but the kernel module hid-rmi is not available
in this version, so i assume (did not check for multitouch, etc.) the
workaround, as described on top, was applied automatically in this
kernel version.

  The Keyboard (which works) and the touchpad are connected as one USB device with two interfaces:

  Workaround:
  The touchpad works with hid-generic, if it is forces to handle the device. Yet, multitouch and dragging does not work.
