Hi Jean,

first thanks for the review you have started.

For your question, the answer is yes, the device works properly even
if i2c_hid_init_reports().
IIRC, the only required steps are:
- get HID descriptor
- get HID report descriptors
- send reset
- set power on

 i2c_hid_init_reports is not part of the specification for the boot
process, and the Windows driver does not retrieve the reports for
input reports at all (it does it though for the features).
Actually, the device I have does not implement get_report for inputs
(it returns 0), but it's not a problem for it to work.

I put the whole init_reports in place to get the features values
before sending them to the hid driver, and also to copy the behavior
of usbhid.

Cheers,
Benjamin
