[FROM-ML] HID: usbhid: skip interrupt IN polling for devices with no input reports
usbhid starts polling a device's interrupt IN endpoint on open
(usbhid_open() -> hid_start_in()). If the report descriptor declares no
input reports there is nothing to read there, so the poll is useless,
and on some composite devices it is also harmful.
The ASUS ROG N-Key keyboards expose a second, input-less interface used
only for RGB control via feature reports. Opening its hidraw node (any
hidraw reader does, including SDL/Steam Input or a plain cat) starts the
pointless IN poll and keypress reports on the keyboard interface get
dropped for as long as the node stays open: a lost key-down drops a
letter, a lost key-up leaves the key stuck. usbmon shows the dropped
reports never reach the URB layer.
The useless poll itself is long-standing; commit 4ac74ea ("HID:
asus: early return for ROG devices") is what exposes it on these
devices by keeping the input-less interface alive instead of ejecting
it, so its hidraw node can be opened and the poll started.
Skip the poll in usbhid_open() when the device has no input reports.
Feature reports and hidraw output keep working over the control and OUT
endpoints, so the interface is otherwise unaffected.
Fixes: 4ac74ea ("HID: asus: early return for ROG devices")
