I think this may be triggered more easily after commit 699fb50d99039
from 2023-07-20, but the root cause of this seems to be have been
with us all along ...

Note I realized this morning that there is another small race between
probe() and hidpp_connect_event() which should not cause a crahs but which
may cause functional issues..

So I'm preparing a follow up patch. I actually just finished testing
the follow up patch. Please also include that patch (assuming you agree
with the fix from it).

Hans
