You could move the dpad next to the ignored to save another 4 bytes.
I think it is still grouped logically that way but I don't really know
what dpad is so I might be wrong.

   	struct hid_report *report;	/* associated report */
   	unsigned index;			/* index into report->field[] */
	bool      ignored;		/* this field is ignored in this event */
  	/* hidinput data */

   	struct hid_input *hidinput;	/* associated input structure */

In fact, not really,
It would fill a hole better, but would generate some padding at the end of the struct:

	bool                       ignored;              /*   108     1 */

	/* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */

	__u16                      dpad;                 /*   110     2 */
	struct hid_input *         hidinput;             /*   112     8 */
	unsigned int               slot_idx;             /*   120     4 */

	/* size: 128, cachelines: 2, members: 25 */
	/* sum members: 119, holes: 2, sum holes: 5 */
	/* padding: 4 */
};
