When trying to make the hiddev driver issue several Set_Report control
transfers to a custom device with 2.6.13-rc6, only the first transfer in a
row is carried out, while others immediately following it are silently
dropped.
This happens where hid_submit_report() (in hid-core.c) tests for
HID_CTRL_RUNNING, which seems to be still set because the first transfer is
not finished yet.
As a workaround, inserting a delay between the two calls to
ioctl(HIDIOCSREPORT) in userspace "solves" the problem. The
straightforward fix is to add a call to hid_wait_io() to the implementation
of HIDIOCSREPORT (in hiddev.c), just like for HIDIOCGREPORT. Works fine
for me.
Apparently, this issue has some history:

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
