Yeah, this problem popped out also in other contexts, where many Logitech 
devices didn't probe properly, because of the race where the first IRQ is 
dropped on the floor (after hid_device_io_start() happens, but before the 
50ms timeout passess), and report descriptor never gets parsed and 
populated.

As this is just a boot time micro-optimization, I am going to revert the 
patch for 5.9 now, and we can try to fix this properly for next merge 
window.

Thanks,
