[RFC PATCH 1/2] HID: uhid: Don't send the report ID if it's zero

From: Andrey Smirnov
Date: Mon Dec 05 2022 - 16:05:29 EST


Report ID of zero is a special case handling ID-less reports and in
that case we should omit report ID from the payload being sent to the
backend.

Without this change UHID_DEV_NUMBERED_{FEATURE,OUTPUT}_REPORTS doesn't
represent a semantical difference.
