Hmm...

How about this:
	buf = list->hid_debug_buf;
	if (list->tail < list->head) {
		ret = simple_read_from_buffer(buffer, count, &list->head,
					buf, HID_DEBUG_BUFSIZE);
		if (ret < 0)
			break;
		if (list->head != buf + HID_DEBUG_BUFSIZE)
			break;
		list->head = 0;
	}
	n = simple_read_from_buffer(buffer + ret, count - ret, &list->head,
					buf, list->tail);
	if (n >= 0)
		ret += n;
	if (list->head == buf + HID_DEBUG_BUFSIZE)
		list->head = 0;
instead?
