Jiri, Benjamin, many many thx for working on this.

Hmmm. No CC: <stable... tag.

Should we ask Greg to pick this up for 6.3 now, or better wait a few
days? He currently already has 6199d23c91ce ("HID: logitech-hidpp:
Handle timeout differently from busy") in his queue for the next 6.3.y
release.

Ciao, Thorsten

P.S.: If the answer is along the lines of "let's backport this quickly",
please consider directly CCing Greg.
