I am not a USB expert so It might be dump comment. :)

We have to change description of hid_input_report.

* @interrupt: called from atomic?

I think it lost meaning.
I am worried that interrupt variable is propagated down
to sub functions. Is it right on sub functions?

One more thing, I am concerned about increasing
GFP_ATOMIC customers although we can avoid it.
Is it called rarely?
Could you find a alternative method to overcome this issue?
