This patch (or a very similar one) seems to be already in the tree:

    usb-hid.c: fix usb mouse wheel
    
    This patch fixes the usb mouse wheel of usb devices.
    
    [ Previously, tablets would fail to subtract dz from e->dz thus
      producing an infinite stream of reports; also the wheel direction
      inversions had been multipled by merge damage resulting in the wrong
      number of inversions for mice. -iwj ]
