Hmmm... I copied from usb-skeleton.c, IIRC...
I'll change to GPL-2.0+, that would be correct, I think.

That was because of symmetry, because further patches add more objects.
Then
if (input)
free(input);
if (battery)
free(battery);
/* in the future *(
if (input_gyro)
free(input_gyro);
Sure, the last one can do an early return, but you break symmetry.

I was expecting to add a few more checks in the middle, but those
weren't needed at the end.
I'll change that.

Do you mean the hid_set_drvdata(hdev, NULL)? I'm not sure, I didn't see
that on hid-core.c or hid-generic.c. And a call like this is done in
many modules... so I did the same, just to be sure.

I have no real preference. Your version has two 'if', mine has two 'if'.
What about:
static void steam_remove(struct hid_device *hdev)
{
struct steam_device *steam = hid_get_drvdata(hdev);
if (!steam) {
hid_hw_stop(hdev);
return;
}
if (steam->quirks & STEAM_QUIRK_WIRELESS) {
hid_info(hdev, "Steam wireless receiver disconnected");
hid_hw_close(hdev);
}
hid_hw_stop(hdev);
cancel_work_sync(&steam->work_connect);
steam_unregister(steam);
hid_set_drvdata(hdev, NULL);
}

That's certainly nicer. Changed.

That's because how the new automatic unbinding/rebinding of hid-generic
works. This driver binds all the interfaces of the device, including the
virtual mouse and keyboard (!steam_is_valve_interface()). Those
hid_devices do not have a steam_device, but they still generate
raw_events.
