Looks like it will work, thank you Kevin. The comments below are just
suggestions, I am fine with the patch as is.

It is sad to have to add a temporary here.

Changing the semantics of the callback did not seem appealing, but it
does not prevent us from using our own version internally. So, how
about something like this:

   static __u8 *hid_alloc_rdesc(struct hid_device *devicew,
   			     const __u8 *start, unsigned int *size)
   {
   	__u8 *rdesc = kmemdup(start, *size, GFP_KERNEL);
   
   	if (rdesc && device->driver->report_fixup) {
   		__u8 *tmp = device->driver->report_fixup(device, rdesc, size);
   
   		if (tmp != rdesc) {
   			tmp = kmemdup(tmp, *size, GFP_KERNEL);
   			kfree(rdesc);
   			rdesc = tmp;
   		}
   	}
   
   	return rdesc;
   }
