HID 1.11 specification, section 5.10 tells us:
HID class devices support the ability to ignore selected fields in a
report at run- time. This is accomplished by declaring bit field in a
report that is capable of containing a range of values larger than
those actually generated by the control. If the host or the device
receives an out-of-range value then the current value for the
respective control will not be modified.
So we shouldn't be restricted to EV_ABS only.
