I noticed that the cordless mouse used by me with one of the machines here
stopped to work in 5.2-rc (up to and including the -rc4).
Bisection turned up commit 74808f9115ce ("HID: logitech-dj: add support for non
unifying receivers").
Of course, that commit does not revert cleanly from 5.2-rc4, but I have reverted
the changes made by it in hid/hid-ids.h and I took the version of hid/hid-logitech-dj.c
from commit b6aeeddef68d ("HID: logitech-dj: add logi_dj_recv_queue_unknown_work
helper"), which is the parent of commit 74808f9115ce, and that made the mouse
work again for me.
Here's the output of "dmesg | grep -i logitech" from 5.2-rc4 with the above changes:

Please let me know what you need to diagnose this.
