[PATCH 1/9] Bluetooth: HIDP: Fix GET_REPORT and SET_REPORT for unnumbered reports

From: Dmitry Torokhov

Date: Mon Oct 12 2026 - 23:46:30 EST


Internally, the kernel HID subsystem expects that report buffers for
both numbered and unnumbered raw report requests begin with a report ID
byte, using report ID 0 for unnumbered reports.

Adjust Bluetooth HIDP transport callbacks to adhere to this convention.
When fetching an unnumbered report, request the report without a report
ID over the control channel, prepend the report ID 0 byte to the
received data, and account for it in the returned length. Similarly,
when setting an unnumbered report, strip the leading dummy report ID
before sending the transfer while including it in the reported transfer
count.

Fixes: 0a7f364e8122 ("HID: Add the transport-driver functions to the HIDP driver.")
