For your next submission, when you want a patch to go in stable, put CC
here, but please do not CC the actual mail to stable@. Stable should receive
either mails which are already in Linus' tree, or which refer a commit
in Linus' tree in case it does not applies smoothly.

[keeping stable@ here to show them that this one should not get picked
right now]

I think the patch is definitively valuable. However, my personal taste
would go for having a new .rawbuf buffer and use it in
i2c_hid_get_raw_report(). The rationale would be that it's actually
i2c_hid_get_raw_report() which is problematic, not the generic irq
handling. Also I prefer rawbuf to irqinbuf.

I am perfectly aware that this is just bikeshedding, so if changing the
patch is too cumbersome (looks like Jean-Baptiste is involved), and if
Jiri agree, this can go into the hid tree with my reviewed-by.

I am fine having this version or the rawbuf one in stable BTW.

Cheers,
Benjamin
