Subject: [PATCH 0/3] HID: steelseries: clean up functions, move battery request data to structs

Hi Sriman,
As requested, here are my patches for your v2 of the new driver.

They fix an issue where the Arctis 7 incorrectly shows 100% battery due
to submitting an invalid report. They also include some cleanups of a
couple functions.

I've tested these by loading the module in a VM, and seeing that the
Arctis 7 reads the correct battery % through the Ubuntu desktop.

If these don't fit nicely into your v3, feel free to take what you need
out of them, or, once you submit v3, I can re-do my patches and
re-submit.

Thanks!
