[RFC PATCH 2/2] HID: usbhid: Don't include report ID zero into returned data

[Andrey Smirnov]

Report ID of zero is a special case for ID-less reports, which by
definition do not have report ID as a part of their payload. Not
returning an extra zero also matches hidraw documentation,
specifically:

      For devices which do not use numbered reports, set the first
      byte to 0.  The returned report buffer will contain the report
      number in the first byte, followed by the report data read from
      the device.  For devices which do not use numbered reports, the
      report data will begin at the first byte of the returned buffer.
