<content type='text'>
commit d07644524b6511b622ee7b0e2e68c9ee43d522a4 upstream.

hidinput_query_battery_capacity() assumes the state-of-charge value is
the first byte following the report ID (buf[1]) and ignores where the
battery field actually sits within the report.

An Apple Magic Trackpad 2 precedes the AbsoluteStateOfCharge byte with a
byte of status flags in its battery reports, so this query returns the
flags byte instead of the charge level.

The device happens to make that easy to observe, because it exposes the
same cell twice: its report descriptor declares AbsoluteStateOfCharge in
two reports (0x90 and 0x9b), so hidinput_setup_battery() registers two
power supplies. Only the first one is refreshed by hid-magicmouse -- it
uses hid_get_battery(), which returns the first battery of the list --
and that refresh goes through the report event path, which parses the
field correctly. Nothing ever reports the second one, so every read of
its capacity takes the query path above. On a USB-C Magic Trackpad over
USB, on an unpatched 7.1.5:

  hid-&lt;serial&gt;-battery-144 = 100%  (Charging)      &lt;- report event path
  hid-&lt;serial&gt;-battery-155 =   3%  (Discharging)   &lt;- query path

Both are the same physical battery. A raw HIDIOCGINPUT of the two
reports at that same moment:

  report 0x90 -&gt; [90 03 64]
  report 0x9b -&gt; [9b 03 64 64 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00]
                     ^flags ^SoC = 0x64 = 100%

The device answers correctly in both cases; only the offset the kernel
reads the capacity from is wrong. 0x03 is the flags byte (present,
charging), reported as "3%".

Bluetooth takes the same query path for its capacity, where the trackpad
reported a bogus near-constant ~4% -- 0b100, the FullyCharged flag --
regardless of the real charge.

Store the battery field's offset within the report at setup time and use
it when querying, so the capacity is read from its real position. The
report event path already parses the field correctly through the HID
core; only the explicit GET_REPORT query was wrong.

Devices whose capacity field is the first field in the report have a
report_offset of 0 and are unaffected (buf[1 + 0] == buf[1]).

The hid_warn_ratelimited macro is defined twice in include/linux/hid.h:
- first one added by commit 4051ead99888 ("HID: rate-limit hid_warn to
  prevent log flooding")
- second one added by commit 1d64624243af ("HID: core: Add
  printk_ratelimited variants to hid_warn() etc")).

The second definition is correctly grouped with other ratelimited macros.
Remove the duplicate definition.

hid_input_report() is used in too many places to have a commit that
doesn't cross subsystem borders. Instead of changing the API, introduce
a new one when things matters in the transport layers:
- usbhid
- i2chid

This effectively revert to the old behavior for those two transport
layers.

commit 0a3fe972a7cb ("HID: core: Mitigate potential OOB by removing
bogus memset()") enforced the provided data to be at least the size of
the declared buffer in the report descriptor to prevent a buffer
overflow. However, we can try to be smarter by providing both the buffer
size and the data size, meaning that hid_report_raw_event() can make
better decision whether we should plaining reject the buffer (buffer
overflow attempt) or if we can safely memset it to 0 and pass it to the
rest of the stack.

Add support for HID devices that report multiple batteries, each
identified by its report ID.

The hid_device-&gt;battery pointer is replaced with a batteries list.
Batteries are named using the pattern hid-{uniq}-battery-{report_id}.
The hid_get_battery() helper returns the first battery in the list for
backwards compatibility with single-battery drivers.

<content type='text'>
Introduce struct hid_battery to encapsulate individual battery state,
preparing for future multi-battery support.

The new structure contains all battery-related fields previously stored
directly in hid_device (capacity, min, max, report_type, report_id,
charge_status, etc.). The hid_device-&gt;battery pointer type changes from
struct power_supply* to struct hid_battery*, and all battery functions
are refactored accordingly.

A hid_get_battery() helper is added for external drivers, with
hid-apple.c and hid-magicmouse.c updated to use the new API. The
hid-input-test.c KUnit tests are also updated for the new structure.

No functional changes for single-battery devices.

<title>HID: input: Add HID_BATTERY_QUIRK_DYNAMIC for Elan touchscreens</title>

<content type='text'>
Elan touchscreens have a HID-battery device for the stylus which is always
there even if there is no stylus.

This is causing upower to report an empty battery for the stylus and some
desktop-environments will show a notification about this, which is quite
annoying.

Because of this the HID-battery is being ignored on all Elan I2c and USB
touchscreens, but this causes there to be no battery reporting for
the stylus at all.

This adds a new HID_BATTERY_QUIRK_DYNAMIC and uses these for the Elan
touchscreens.

This new quirks causes the present value of the battery to start at 0,
which will make userspace ignore it and only sets present to 1 after
receiving a battery input report which only happens when the stylus
gets in range.

Userspace software fwupd probes some HID devices when the daemon starts
up to determine the current firmware version in order to be able to offer
updated firmware if the manufacturer has made it available.

In order to do this fwupd will detach the existing kernel driver if one
is present, send a HID command and then reattach the kernel driver.

This can be problematic if the user is using the HID device at the time
that fwupd probes the hardware and can cause a few frames of input to be
dropped.  In some cases HID drivers already have a command to look up the
firmware version, and so if that is exported to userspace fwupd can
discover it and avoid needing to detach the kernel driver until it's time
to update the device.

Introduce a new member in the struct hid_device for the version and export
a new uevent variable HID_FIRMWARE_VERSION that will display the version
that HID drivers obtained.
