Grant Likely 039b66468f HID: input: Fix devices that return multiple bytes in battery report
commit 4f57cace81438cc873a96f9f13f08298815c9b51 upstream.

Some devices, particularly the 3DConnexion Spacemouse wireless 3D
controllers, return more than just the battery capacity in the battery
report. The Spacemouse devices return an additional byte with a device
specific field. However, hidinput_query_battery_capacity() only
requests a 2 byte transfer.

When a spacemouse is connected via USB (direct wire, no wireless dongle)
and it returns a 3 byte report instead of the assumed 2 byte battery
report the larger transfer confuses and frightens the USB subsystem
which chooses to ignore the transfer. Then after 2 seconds assume the
device has stopped responding and reset it. This can be reproduced
easily by using a wired connection with a wireless spacemouse. The
Spacemouse will enter a loop of resetting every 2 seconds which can be
observed in dmesg.

This patch solves the problem by increasing the transfer request to 4
bytes instead of 2. The fix isn't particularly elegant, but it is simple
and safe to backport to stable kernels. A further patch will follow to
more elegantly handle battery reports that contain additional data.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
