Some old mice have a tendency to not accept the high resolution multiplier.
They reply with a -EPIPE which was previously ignored.
Force the call to resolution multiplier to be synchronous and actually
check for the answer. If this fails, consider the mouse like a normal one.
Fixes: 2dc702c991 ("HID: input: use the Resolution Multiplier for
high-resolution scrolling")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
