Thanks for the tip.

Yes. That patch fixes my problem too. Tested on top of the current
tree [2.6.36-rc1-00051-g3b89f56]. Thanks!

One little thing though. There is a message about 2 lines offset when
patching. Succeeded anyway but I've never got such messages before so
I thought it would be better to mention it:

patch -p1 <../patches/hid.git-9c9e54a8df0be48aa359744f412377cc55c3b7d2.patch
patching file drivers/hid/usbhid/hiddev.c
Hunk #2 succeeded at 890 (offset -2 lines).

I downloaded the patch from
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git;a=commitdiff;h=9c9e54a8df0be48aa359744f412377cc55c3b7d2
to make sure I had the original indentations etc. preserved (Gmail
tends to mess up with lines).
