Heh, just found out what happened here: we were not checking on the
report ID, which means that hitting the 'f' key alone generated a report
that was interpreted by hid-logitech-hidpp as a battery event with a
null capacity :)

Anyway, fixed locally so does the full series that has seen a big clean
up. I'll ask Bastien for some tests and will post a v3 soon.

Cheers,
Benjamin
