I'm using a Data Modul EasyTouch USB multitouch controller,
which is issuing a hid report with a size equals to 0. The rsize
value gets set to 536870912 and Linux is crashing in the memset
because the value is too big.

I'm thinking this is papering over the bug, and causing us to process a max-sized
buffer when the other end gave *zero* bytes back - this can't be good.

Probably should be more like this:

	if (!report->size) then	/* 
		rsize = MIN_VALID_SIZE; /* whatever it should be here */
	else {
		rsize = ((report->size - 1) >> 3) + 1;
		if (rsize > HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE)
			rsize = HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE;
	}

	if (csize < rsize) {


That last if() still looks squirrely - if we have an effectively zero rsize,
the report is short and the dbg_hid should fire.  Did we want "csize > rsize"
instead?
