Subject: [098/146] HID: magicmouse: ignore ivalid report id while switching

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
 modes

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@...e.cz>

commit 23746a66d7d9e73402c68ef00d708796b97ebd72 upstream.

The device reponds with 'invalid report id' when feature report switching it
into multitouch mode is sent to it.

This has been silently ignored before 0825411ade ("HID: bt: Wait for ACK
on Sent Reports"), but since this commit, it propagates -EIO from the _raw
callback .

So let the driver ignore -EIO as response to 0xd7,0x01 report, as that's
how the device reacts in normal mode.

Sad, but following reality.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35022
