HID: input: Fix Apple Magic Trackpad 1 Bluetooth disconnect

Browse source

When connecting the Trackpad 1 via any bluetooth adapter, the device
disconnects whenever the battery level is queried. It reconnects
again after a few seconds, but it's an incredibly jarring experience
since it will just cut out in the middle of mouse operations.

This patch ignores querying the battery and avoids disconnects.

This bug is reported here:

It looks like a similar approach (disabling battery checking)
was also suggested for the Apple Magic Mouse before a custom
driver was created:
