Re: [PATCH] HID: i2c-hid: fix the report-id passed in via set_or_send_report

[Angela Czubak]

Hi Tero,

I believe this is not the right solution. To my mind the spec does not
mention anything that the ID in the payload of SET_REPORT command
should be altered; you have a full byte to us, so why not?
Other than that this will result into problems with sending reports
via output register: for any report with report ID >=0xF we will get
the same report ID in the payload, so how could the device know which
one we have in mind?
Dmitry's rework was intended to actually solve problems with large
report IDs being incorrectly overwritten with 0xF.

Regards,
Angela
