It is possible that the hid-rmi driver could get loaded onto a device which 
does not have the
expected report ids. This should not happen because it would indicate that the 
hid-rmi driver is
not compatible with that device. However, if it does happen it should return an 
error from probe
instead of dereferencing a null pointer.

Added hid_err messages as suggested by Benjamin. This fixes the null pointer 
dereference from
bug 80091 while the next patch addresses the binding issue in hid-core.
