I think this patch is rather obvious, so maybe I should ask Andrew to
apply it to -mm for now, to get some testing. Would that help to verify
it for acceptance?

Subject: Oops in hidinput_hid_event
Hi, Vojtech:
Someone reported a bug in Fedora, which runs a largely unmodified upstream
kernel in this area. Whenever the user hits a key which switches LED,
the system oopses. Here's a trace:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000c8
EFLAGS: 00010006 (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp)

Any ideas?
By the way, it seems that I see a bug in hidinput_hid_event.
The check for NULL can never work, becaue &hidinput->input
is nonzero at all times. How about this?
