No, that is exactly what I had in mind, thank you. Please submit this
entry to upstream systemd/udev project (and we can cherry-pick it into
our udev as well).

In general I think we should try to avoid trivial "fixup" HID drivers if
it is possible. I also wondered if we could be supplying fixed-up HID
descriptors via request_firmware() for HID devices.

Thanks.
