Draft: linux/hidraw: Parse Report ID

[tuxedo-wse]

I didn't see a way to retrive Report IDs using hidapi, but sometimes these are required because they are optional and/or different on a per device basis and must be prefixed to reports sent. So I made this quick and currently untested Patch as a conversation starter if and how this could be added.

Or am I missing something completly?

1. If you really need report IDs - you may hid_get_report_descriptor and get it yourself (preferably by parsing with some library, and not with your own implementation, like HIDAPI does).
2. Each HID device/top-level collection may have multiple reports (input/output/feature), and not only a single one as per suggested implementation.

This can't be accepted as is for more than one reason, thus closing the PR.

kk

but:

(preferably by parsing with some library, and not with your own implementation, like HIDAPI does)

not so easy to find a good documented one, if you know of any let me know ^^

I personally haven't used any as of yet, so me recommending anything on this regard is as good as googling yourself (or asking an AI/LLM of any kind).
