Keeping the reports enabled when the probe succeeds is fine, I am
referring to the error path. If the probe fails, then reports should
never be accepted or a corruption may occur (if I see it correctly).

Is this analysis correct?

 hid_device_probe()
   hid_device_io_start()
   return FAILURE
 hid_close_report(device)
   report_enum = device
        ->report_enum[i]
   hid_free_report(report_enum
        ->report_id_hash[j])    <-- NOTE: freed
                    ... interrupt occurs ...
                                    hid_input_report()
                                      hid_get_report()
                                        report = report_enum->report_id_hash[n];
                                                 ^ NOTE: use-after-free
                                        return report if not NULL
                                      hdrv->raw_event(report) <--- BOOM?
   kfree(device->rdesc)
 device->driver = NULL

Kind regards,
Peter
