Thanks, I should be all set to take this for 5.2 then. I'll let you
know when it is pushed upstream.

I am not a big fan of the idea. Having a specific quirk is not going
to help much IMO because it will be quite hard to grasp what it does.
Right now adding a new module doesn't cost much, especially since
hid-generic is nice enough to unbind itself.

With Jiri, we talked (a lot) about having those report descriptors
overrides provided by userspace. I know I already mentioned this to
you a while ago (and more recently IIRC), but one idea could be to
have the override as a firmware file that would get loaded by udev
through request_firmware() (if I remember correctly the API).

But I am also wondering if we could not use eBPF to actually fix those
HID devices programmatically, which mean we could externalize those
fixes without actually needing the full report descriptor.

Anyway, until we have a generic and good enough solution, I'd rather
we keep accepting those report fixups in the kernel.

Cheers,
Benjamin
