Isn't "report->id" already covered by "if (report_enum->numbered)"
above? The test for "id > 0" won't work here as in this case
"report_enum->numbered" must already be set to true by the hid-desc
parser, doesn't it?

Where exactly did you get the +7 from?

What worries me here is that we write over the @data buffer from the
hid-ll-driver if the report is too short. I don't think the BT driver
accounts for that, mhh.
