Subject[PATCH] HID: holtek-mouse: start hardware in probe
Date
The holtek_mouse_probe() function is missing the necessary code to
start the hardware. When an Etekcity Scroll X1 (M555) USB mouse is
plugged in, the mouse receives power and the kernel recognizes it as a
USB device, but the system does not respond to any movement, clicking,
or scrolling of the mouse. Presumably, this bug also affects all other
mice supported by the hid-holtek-mouse driver, although this has not
been tested. On the stable linux-5.15.y branch, testing confirms that
the bug was introduced in commit a579510a64ed ("HID: check for valid
USB device for many HID drivers"), which was first included in
v5.15.8. Based on the source code, this bug appears to be present in
all currently-supported kernels (mainline, stable, and all LTS
kernels). Testing on hardware confirms that this proposed patch fixes
the bug for kernel v5.15.10. Fix holtek_mouse_probe() to call the
necessary functions to start the hardware.

This is my first time submitting a kernel patch. I think I've followed
all the directions, but please let me know if I should do something
differently.

In addition to testing this patch for the stable v5.15.10 kernel on real
hardware, I also tested it for the latest master of the hid repository
(commit 03090cc76ee3 ("Merge branch 'for-linus' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hid/hid")) using a VM with
USB passthrough.
