Fix for Chromecast Remote not working

Hello,

I've attached source code for a kernel module that fixes my Chromecast 
Remote.  Prior to this module, when pressing buttons on the Chromecast 
Remote, I'd get these in the dmesg:

hid-generic 0005:18D1:9450.0004: Event data for report 1 was too short 
(2 vs 1)

It seemed like a simple fix (accepting 1 instead of 2 for this specific 
remote), and the attached module fixes this.

I'm not sure where this belongs in the main tree (perhaps as a quirk in 
drivers/hid/ somewhere), which is why I'm submitting this as a module 
instead of a patch.

As an unsophisticated dev I thought I'd bring this to someone's 
attention since it might allow these remotes to be useful, and the fix 
seems simple.  Thank you.

Cheers,
-Randy.
