The problem is that the HID core now tests for hdev->type == > HID_TYPE_USBMOUSE, but it doesn't test for bInterfaceProtocol == > USB_INTERFACE_PROTOCOL_MOUSE like the older code did. > > This issue should be reported to the author of that second commit > (CC'ed). Has this been fixed yet? I came back to this old email today, and it turns out that usbhid_probe() already includes the following lines: if (intf->cur_altsetting->desc.bInterfaceProtocol == USB_INTERFACE_PROTOCOL_MOUSE) hid->type = HID_TYPE_USBMOUSE; This happens before hid_add_device() is called, so it should already be in effect when hid_ignore() runs. Maybe you can figure out what's wrong given these hints.
