[PATCH v2] HID: leave dev_rdesc unmodified and use it for comparisons

flat view
STALE5151d

From: Kevin Daughtridge <hidden>

Also in: lkml

The dev_rdesc member of the hid_device structure is meant to store the original
report descriptor received from the device, but it is currently passed to any
report_fixup method before it is copied to the rdesc member. This patch moves
the kmemdup to before, not after, the report_fixup call, keeping dev_rdesc
unchanged.

usbhid's hid_post_reset checks the report descriptor currently returned by the
device against a descriptor that may have been modified by a driver's
report_fixup method. That leaves some devices nonfunctional after a resume, with
a "reset_resume error 1" reported. This patch checks the new descriptor against
the unmodified dev_rdesc instead.
