When logical maximum is 0xffffffff, the parser fails even if
logical minimum is equal to or greater than  0.
By HID specification, if both the Logical Minimum and Logical
Maximum extents are defined as positive values (0 or greater)
then the report field can be assumed to be an unsigned value.
Otherwise, all integer values are signed values represented
in 2’s complement format.
Signed-off-by: line is missing, could you please fix that?

The change looks correct per se, but I will have to think a little bit 
more whether other places of report parsing don't need similar adjustments 
as well to work properly in such scenarios.

How did you find this out? By code/spec inspection, or do you actually 
have the device that exposes this problem?

Thanks,
