And in the caller it does: drivers/hid/hid-core.c 297 if (!parser->local.usage_index) /* Ignore padding fields */ 298 return 0; 299 300 usages = max_t(unsigned, parser->local.usage_index, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 301 parser->global.report_count); 302 303 field = hid_register_field(report, usages, parser->global.report_count); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ So ->usages is always greater or equal to ->global.report_count. 304 if (!field) 305 return 0; 306 307 field->physical = hid_lookup_collection(parser, HID_COLLECTION_PHYSICAL); > > Here, `values` equals to `global.report_count`.

I suspect it is valid. We have no reason to think that it's invalid. regards, dan carpenter
