Subject: [PATCH 5.15 009/171] HID: bigbenff: prevent null pointer dereference

From: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@...hat.com>

commit 918aa1ef104d286d16b9e7ef139a463ac7a296f0 upstream.

When emulating the device through uhid, there is a chance we don't have
output reports and so report_field is null.
