The patch also adds a new general quirk infrastructure to the hidp
core.  That's worth noting in the changelog!  I added this:

   The patch adds a general quirk handling framework to the HIDP
   core and then uses this framework to implement a quirk for this
   device.

Looks OK, but...

It's a bit neater (IMO) and probably more efficient to replace the
null-terminated search with a fixed-size one, using ARRAY_SIZE().

How does this look?

static const struct quirk_id hidp_quirks[] = {
	{
		/* Lamarque: Acer Bluetooth Optical Rechargeable Mouse
		 * does not work properly with hid session since 2.6.27. */
		.vendor = 0x0458,
		.product = 0x0058,
		.quirks = 1 << HIDP_QUIRK_USE_INPUT_SESSION
	},
};

static int quirk_test_bit(__u16 vendor, __u16 product, int quirk)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(hidp_quirks); i++) {
		const struct quirk_id *q = hidp_quirks + i;
	
		if (q->vendor == vendor && q->product == product)
			return test_bit(quirk, &q->quirks);
	}

	return 0;
}
