Don't change the logic of the if statement in this function, leave it as !=
if it failed before this change it should still fail with this change.

In drivers/hid/hid-hyperv.c there are additional struct hid_descriptor references

struct synthhid_device_info {
struct synthhid_msg_hdr header;
struct hv_input_dev_info hid_dev_info;
struct hid_descriptor hid_descriptor;
};

Have you checked that there are no changes necessary in that file due to the
size change of struct hid_descriptor?
