Bug Description
Once a wacom USB tablet is unplugged, the wacom driver enters a non-working state. If the tablet is plugged in again, the device will be detected, but it won't generate any events. udev and device creation appear to work as normal, however.
Steps to reproduce *when X is not running, e.g. via `stop gdm`*:
1) plug in the wacom tablet (if it isn't already plugged in)
2) `sudo evtest /dev/input/wacom`
3) scribble on the tablet surface with the stylus and note that events are reported
4) unplug the tablet
4b) note that /dev/input/wacom no longer exists
5) plug the tablet back in
5b) note that /dev/input/wacom exists again
6) `sudo evtest /dev/input/wacom`
7) scribble on the tablet surface with the stylus again
Expected result:
Events are generated, like the first time the tablet was plugged in.
Actual result:
No events are generated.
The tablet doesn't start working again until the machine has been rebooted.

This is similar to, but not the same as, bug #511844, which was an X input bug with similar symptoms.
