At this point you are down to debugging the kernel. Basically, this is
above my pay grade. sorry. Obviously, a first step would be to find out
which module which is actually loaded behind the hid-generic facade;
there seems to quite a large number of hid-* modules. lsmod should show
it, I guess. But that would probably just be the start of a long and
complicated journey (?)

OTOH, the problem is confined to the kernel. Perhaps you could get some
help on a kernel list or so, dunno.

Cheers!
