Thanks for the patch, but I would rather have a proper tests added to
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libevdev/hid-tools

We already have gamepads tests, and it would be very nice to have this
patch reflected as a test as well. This would also allow me to better
understand the problem. I am not sure I follow the whole logic of this
patch without seeing the 2 variants of report descriptors.

Cheers,
Benjamin
