OK, so the root cause is that kfifo_skip() must not be called on an
empty fifo. I think you want the code to look something like this:

static void wacom_wac_queue_insert(struct hid_device *hdev,
				   struct kfifo_rec_ptr_2 *fifo,
				   u8 *raw_data, int size)
{
	bool warned = false;

	while (kfifo_avail(fifo) < size && !kfifo_is_empty(fifo)) {
		if (!warned)
			hid_warn(hdev, "%s: kfifo has filled, starting to drop events\n", __func__);
		warned = true;

		kfifo_skip(fifo);
	}

	if (!kfifo_in(fifo, raw_data, size))
		hid_warn_ratelimited(hdev, "%s: report is too large (%d)\n",
				     __func__, size);
}

Thanks.
