[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 14/14] HID: quirks: Add quirk for 2 Chicony Electronics HP 5MP Cameras

[ Upstream commit 54bae4c17c11688339eb73a04fd24203bb6e7494 ]

The Chicony Electronics HP 5MP Cameras (USB ID 04F2:B824 & 04F2:B82C)
report a HID sensor interface that is not actually implemented.
Attempting to access this non-functional sensor via iio_info causes
system hangs as runtime PM tries to wake up an unresponsive sensor.

Add these 2 devices to the HID ignore list since the sensor interface is
non-functional by design and should not be exposed to userspace.

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:

## Key Characteristics of This Commit:

1. **Fixes a Critical User-Facing Bug**: The commit addresses system
   hangs that occur when userspace attempts to access non-functional HID
   sensor interfaces through iio_info. This is a serious usability issue
   that can make the system unresponsive.

2. **Minimal and Contained Changes**: The patch only adds two device IDs
   to existing infrastructure:
   - In `drivers/hid/hid-ids.h`: Added
     `USB_DEVICE_ID_CHICONY_HP_5MP_CAMERA` (0xb824) and
     `USB_DEVICE_ID_CHICONY_HP_5MP_CAMERA2` (0xb82c)
   - In `drivers/hid/hid-quirks.c`: Added these two devices to the
     `hid_ignore_list[]` array

3. **Zero Risk of Regression**: The changes only affect the specific USB
   devices (04F2:B824 and 04F2:B82C). No existing functionality is
   modified, and no code logic is changed.

## Comparison with Similar Commits:

This commit is nearly identical to **Similar Commit #1** (which was
backported), where a QUANTA HP 5MP Camera (0408:5473) was added to the
ignore list for the exact same reason - non-functional sensor causing
system hangs. Both commits:
- Target HP 5MP cameras with non-functional sensors
- Use the same fix approach (adding to HID ignore list)
- Prevent system hangs when accessing the sensor

## Alignment with Stable Kernel Rules:

The commit perfectly aligns with stable tree criteria:
- **Fixes a real bug**: System hangs are critical issues
- **Already in Linus' tree**: Signed-off by Jiri Kosina (HID maintainer)
- **Small change**: Only 4 lines of actual code changes
- **Obviously correct**: Simply adding device IDs to an ignore list
- **No new features**: Pure bugfix
- **Hardware-specific**: Only affects users with these specific cameras

## Historical Precedent:

Looking at the provided similar commits:
- 4 out of 5 hardware quirk commits were backported (80% backport rate)
- All commits fixing system hangs or device disconnections were
  backported
- The only non-backported commit (#4) involved architectural changes to
  enum handling

This commit follows the exact pattern of successfully backported
hardware quirks, making it an excellent candidate for stable inclusion.
