[PATCH] i2c-hid: Fix "incomplete report" noise

From: Jason Andryuk
Date: Fri Jun 22 2018 - 12:26:04 EST


Commit ac75a041048b ("HID: i2c-hid: fix size check and type usage")
started writing messages when the ret_size is <= 2 from i2c_master_recv.
However, my device i2c-DLL07D1 returns 2 for a short period of time
(~0.5s) after I stop moving the pointing stick or touchpad. It varies,
but you get ~50 messages each time which spams the log hard.
[ 95.925055] i2c_hid i2c-DLL07D1:01: i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report (83/2)

This has also been observed with a i2c-ALP0017.
[ 1781.266353] i2c_hid i2c-ALP0017:00: i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report (30/2)

Only print the message when ret_size is totally invalid and less than 2
to cut down on the log spam.

When ret_size is 2, hid_input_report is passed 0 and returns early. ret_size
== 2 seems to be a header size saying there is no content. Should
i2c_hid_get_input just return early in that case?

Also, should this condition be noted to stop an interrupt from firing to
avoid the ~50 bogus messages?
