I don't recall any particular changes were needed
to make composite devices work from the host
side in any 2.4+ kernel.  Minor bugfixes at
some points, maybe (!), at most.

So your best course of action doesn't involve
having someone else (!!) search for changes
 added in some dot-release ... but testing to
see if the composite device of interest works
on a given "old" kernel.

I have a composite HID+AUDIO (speaker) device
that I don't recall ever not working.

The main technical issue is whether
the right driver binds to each interface, and
that binding model hasn't changed much since
Linux-USB became usable.  Even re-implementing
using the driver model didn't change semantics.

(Depending on the device, there
may be userspace concerns, like being able
to bind a HID interface to the right speakers.
