Interesting, in this round the only patch to the Logitech driver
(fb6c0583a1435) should really be pretty much nop, so it might be something
slightly more subtle.

How do

/proc/bus/input/devices
and
/sys/kernel/debug/hid/<device>/rdesc

entries look like for this device in working and non-working case? Are
they the same?

Does scrolling the wheel produce any output in

cat /sys/kernel/debug/hid/<device>/events

?

Thanks,
