HID: rmi: do not fetch more than 16 bytes in a query
A firmware bug is present on the XPS Haswell edition which silently split the request in two responses when the caller ask for a read of more than 16 bytes. The FW sends the first 16 then the 4 next, but it says that it answered the 20 bytes in the first report. This occurs only on the retrieving of the min/max of X and Y of the F11 function. We only use the first 10 bytes of the Ctrl register, so we can get only those 10 bytes to prevent the bug from happening.
