The documentation for the .raw_event() callback says that if the
driver return 1, there will be no further processing of the event,
but this is not true, the actual code in hid-core.c looks like this:
if (hdrv && hdrv->raw_event && hid_match_report(hid, report)) {
ret = hdrv->raw_event(hid, report, data, size);
if (ret < 0)
goto unlock;
}
ret = hid_report_raw_event(hid, type, data, size, interrupt);
The only return value that has any effect on the processing is
a negative error.
Correct this as it seems to confuse people: I found bogus code in
the Razer out-of-tree driver attempting to return 1 here.

* input will not be passed to raw_event unless hid_device_io_start is
* called.
*
- * raw_event and event should return 0 on no action performed, 1 when no
- * further processing should be done and negative on error
+ * raw_event and event should return negative on error, any other value will
+ * pass the event on to .event() typically return 0 for success.
*
* input_mapping shall return a negative value to completely ignore this usage
* (e.g. doubled or invalid usage), zero to continue with parsing of this
