Ouch. I will have a look at hid-input, thanks.

What you are aiming for is to fixup the report descriptor and let the
generic hid-raw driver handle the rest, or do I get you wrong?
How is the report mapped to certain events then?
I do read at [1] but it is not obvious how to put it together.
Most drivers I've looked at that is using .report_fixup just fix broken
reports. I guess these reports are not "broken", just.. odd?
