My name is Wolfgang, not Wolfram... ;-)
But never mind.

I tested the patch meanwhile on top of kernel 5.2.rc4, where the mouse wheel 
actually worked.
As the patch didn't apply cleanly (it's obviously based upon 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=abf82e8f7e9af40a49e3d905187c662a43c96c8f , called "HID-
a4tech-fix-horizontal-scrolling.patch" below), I added that patch as well.

My results:
kernel 5.2.rc4 works
kernel 5.2.rc4 + HID-a4tech-fix-horizontal-scrolling.patch is broken
kernel 5.2.rc4 + HID-a4tech-fix-horizontal-scrolling.patch +
HID-input-fix-a4tech-horizontal-wheel-custom-usage.patch (i.e. this patch) 
works again

kernel 5.2.rc4 + HID-input-fix-a4tech-horizontal-wheel-custom-usage.patch 
works as well.

So AFAICT this patch seems to be fine.

For completeness, this is my mouse as listed by lsusb:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 09da:000a A4Tech Co., Ltd. Optical Mouse Opto 510D / 
OP-620D
