Yep, that's what I meant. I am worried that userspace doesn't know
well how to deal with a device that mixes the new and old REL_WHEEL
events.

Oh cool.
Then we should add: "Link:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203369" in the commit
description.
Also, given that the patch will likely see a v2, te format of the
"Fixes" tag is not correct: see
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.20/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes
(I have been notified that I tend to not follow the rules here, so I
am trying to do better here :-P )

OK, thanks both of you for your logs, this is helpful.
So just in case I need to come back later, the horizontal wheel is
"just" the normal wheel plus a modifier in the report.
Anyway, ideally, can we have a v2 of the patch with the 2 changes
requested above in the commit message and the introduction of
REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES events in addition to REL_HWHEEL?
REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES should report `120*value` and we should also keep
the reporting of REL_WHEEL as it is currently.
Peter, I grepped in the hid code, and it seems hid-cypress.c is having
the exact same issue. Sigh.
Cheers,
Benjamin
