[PATCH] HID: fix error message in hid_open_report()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On HID report descriptor parsing error the code displays bogus
pointer instead of error offset (subtracts start=NULL from end).
Make the message more useful by displaying correct error offset
and include total buffer size for reference.

This is present since ancient times - "Fixed" commit just
promoted the message from DEBUG to ERROR.
