Re: [regression] 1a8953f4f774 ("HID: Add IGNORE quirk for SMARTLINKTECHNOLOGY") causes issue with ID 4c4a:4155 Jieli Technology USB Composite Device

Thank you,

I tried to apply this patch to 6.12.39, the first problematic kernel, as 
well as 6.12.41, the first bad I tried, and on both I got an error 
message:

Applying: HID: quirks: Add device descriptor for 4c4a:4155
error: patch failed: drivers/hid/hid-quirks.c:1068
error: drivers/hid/hid-quirks.c: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 HID: quirks: Add device descriptor for 4c4a:4155

To which kernel version should I apply the patch?

I used the command
git am < <file>

Best regards,

Staffan
