Actually, the more I look at the code that bails when it runs out

the more I wonder about that.

kfree(hidinput);
input_free_device(input_dev);
This either passes a NULL pointer to kfree or to
input_free_device. That's
not nice.
No, that's allright. input_free_device() takes after kfree() so that
it safe to call it with NULL pointer.
Ahh - should have checked that.
Will the rest of the patch work with the call to hidinput_disconnect?
If yes then
I'll send a cleaned up version that removes the unnecessary checks in
the case here...
