[PATCH 01/12] HID: core: statically allocate read buffers

From: Benjamin Tissoires
Date: Wed Jan 26 2022 - 11:18:59 EST


This is a preparation patch for rethinking the generic processing
of HID reports.

We can actually pre-allocate all of our memory instead of dynamically
allocating/freeing it whenever we parse a report.
