FWIW, this is

Couple of questions though:
- do the hyperv want to take this patch through their tree or should I
(I plan on sending some fixes for 6.1-rc2 this week, so I can piggy
back this one)
- on the driver itself, please see inline:

IMO that struct has no real use. We just use it in
mousevsc_on_receive() to dereference the first field only, the header.
So how about we have a followup cleanup patch that just removes it and
in mousevsc_on_receive() we convert those usages directly to struct
synthhid_msg_hdr?

Cheers,
Benjamin
