[ Upstream commit 54bae4c17c11688339eb73a04fd24203bb6e7494 ]
The Chicony Electronics HP 5MP Cameras (USB ID 04F2:B824 & 04F2:B82C) report a HID sensor interface that is not actually implemented. Attempting to access this non-functional sensor via iio_info causes system hangs as runtime PM tries to wake up an unresponsive sensor.
Add these 2 devices to the HID ignore list since the sensor interface is non-functional by design and should not be exposed to userspace.

**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:
## Key Characteristics of This Commit:
1. **Fixes a Critical User-Facing Bug**: The commit addresses system hangs that occur when userspace attempts to access non-functional HID sensor interfaces through iio_info. This is a serious usability issue that can make the system unresponsive.
2. **Minimal and Contained Changes**: The patch only adds two device IDs to existing infrastructure: - In `drivers/hid/hid-ids.h`: Added `USB_DEVICE_ID_CHICONY_HP_5MP_CAMERA` (0xb824) and `USB_DEVICE_ID_CHICONY_HP_5MP_CAMERA2` (0xb82c) - In `drivers/hid/hid-quirks.c`: Added these two devices to the `hid_ignore_list[]` array
3. **Zero Risk of Regression**: The changes only affect the specific USB devices (04F2:B824 and 04F2:B82C). No existing functionality is modified, and no code logic is changed.
## Comparison with Similar Commits:
This commit is nearly identical to **Similar Commit #1** (which was backported), where a QUANTA HP 5MP Camera (0408:5473) was added to the ignore list for the exact same reason - non-functional sensor causing system hangs. Both commits: - Target HP 5MP cameras with non-functional sensors - Use the same fix approach (adding to HID ignore list) - Prevent system hangs when accessing the sensor
## Alignment with Stable Kernel Rules:
The commit perfectly aligns with stable tree criteria: - **Fixes a real bug**: System hangs are critical issues - **Already in Linus' tree**: Signed-off by Jiri Kosina (HID maintainer) - **Small change**: Only 4 lines of actual code changes - **Obviously correct**: Simply adding device IDs to an ignore list - **No new features**: Pure bugfix - **Hardware-specific**: Only affects users with these specific cameras
## Historical Precedent:
Looking at the provided similar commits: - 4 out of 5 hardware quirk commits were backported (80% backport rate) - All commits fixing system hangs or device disconnections were backported - The only non-backported commit (#4) involved architectural changes to enum handling
This commit follows the exact pattern of successfully backported hardware quirks, making it an excellent candidate for stable inclusion.
