As Jiri said, please provide a correct commit message.

I have a few nitpicks in the driver, v6 should be fine:

Please drop this hunk. v4.16 should work without changing
hid_have_special_driver. This way, you will be sure that an initramfs
that doesn't include hid-redragon.ko will allo people to type their
LUKS password.

you probably don't need input.h

log2.h? I am not sure you need it either

probably drop this one too.
