Apologies for not requesting a revert earlier, I was away on vacation 
and didn't realize it would take me this long to get to it.

As I mentioned in this bugzilla report [0], I think the extra buttons 
are handled by vendor defined bytes at the end of the descriptor, so it 
boils down to the emulated descriptor not being updated.
This patch worked for me as the Superlight X that I own only has two 
side buttons. In addition, I was unaware of how many devices this would 
affect.

For now let's make sure this commit is reverted so that people have 
working devices and I will get to fixing the issues that showed up.

Once again, apologies for this.
