[ Upstream commit 206342541fc887ae919774a43942dc883161fece ]

hid_input_report() is used in too many places to have a commit that
doesn't cross subsystem borders. Instead of changing the API, introduce
a new one when things matters in the transport layers:
- usbhid
- i2chid

This effectively revert to the old behavior for those two transport
layers.
