There is a legitimate reason for clients to force a sync on the device. X.Org drivers lose the fd when the device is disabled and re-enabled. When the device comes back, a simple libevdev_change_fd() doesn't update the status on the device. Button states, etc. may have changed, etc. So a driver may call FORCE_SYNC after re-connecting to the fd to make sure the library and the driver get the current state of the device.

libevdev - wrapper library for evdev input devices
libevdev is a wrapper library for evdev devices. it moves the common tasks when dealing with evdev devices into a library and provides a library interface to the callers, thus avoiding erroneous ioctls, etc.
git://git.freedesktop.org/git/libevdev http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libevdev/
libevdev is currently in early stages of development. Use at your own risk
The eventual goal is that libevdev wraps all ioctls available to evdev devices, thus making direct access unnecessary.
