Ok, this has no upstream provenance, I assume from a search of linus'
tree that this is the following commit:

  commit 0a7f364e812285246cd617a51194a3f8bd0e8daa
  Author: Frank Praznik <frank.praznik at oh.rr.com>

    HID: Add the transport-driver functions to the HIDP driver.

Indeed this commit seems to be cherry-pickable.  Please when submitting
patches include this information (git cherry-pick -sx is your friend), it
is _very_ important for tracking CVEs and the like later in the kernel's
life.  Also the patch itself is missing the BugLink: which just makes
work for the person applying this later on, and risks it becoming missed.

For other reviewers, this patch does appear to need a foundational commit,
which would normally not be in trusty but for other fixes has already
been applied.  Lastly this fix was applied in v3.15-rc1 and therefore is
not required in either Utopic or Vivid.

Assuming this is confirmed as the implied cherry-pick of the above sha1,
then:
