Eh, I remember.. Ok, but the magic-mouse is BT right? So this commit
really breaks BT drivers:

    HID: core: fix reporting of raw events

Problem is, if the raw_event() callback returned 0 earlier, we just
skipped raw input reports. However, we now always call the
hid_report_raw_event() helper. Which is normally fine, but the helper
expects the input buffer to be of size HID_MAX_REPORT_SIZE, which is
*not* true for HIDP. So the memset() writes over some random memory.

I don't know exactly how to fix it. HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE is too big to
be allocated on the stack, but we're in atomic-context here so a
kzalloc(rsize, GFP_ATOMIC) seems overkill. So I guess we'd have to
look into HIDP to make the skb big enough, but I'm not sure how we can
achieve that.

So off the top of my head, the best idea is to add "char
inbuf[HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE];" to the hidp_session object in HIDP and
copy every input-report into the buffer before passing to
hid_input_report().

Ideas?
