Ugh, indeed. I guess the simplest way of fixing this would be:

diff --git a/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_f12.c b/drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_f12.c
index fc2cc8e2b0ba..8246fe77114b 100644

-	item = rmi_get_register_desc_item(&f12->query_reg_desc,

-	if (item) {

 		query_dpm_addr = fn->fd.query_base_addr	+ offset;

Could you please tell me if this works for you?

Thanks.
