Song, Hongyan 71f6fa90a3 HID: increase maximum global item tag report size to 256
The maximum globale report size has changed from 32->...->96->128 in the past
years.  With the development usage of HID, the report_size max value 128 cannot
satisfy all requirements.

There are applications need to expose intrinsic metadata to camera stabilizing
applications such as 3DFE application. 3DFE intrinsic is designed to express
environmental information about sensor that may dynamically change while the
sensor is running (such data include noise spectral density, bias standard
deviation)

A sensor data field is SENSOR_VALUE_PAIR that consists of a PROPERTYKEY and
PROPVARIANT pair. It need to report a unique PROPERTYKEY for each data field.

Take “Noise Spectral Density” as an example, it report count will be
defined as below:

	"Size of Property key GUID(16 Byte) + property key index(4 Byte) +
	size of Noise Spectral Density value(4 Byte)"

In this case, the data report max is totally 192(24Byte), which is larger than
128, while max size 128 blocked it as illegal length. So increase the report
size to satisfy it and more demands in the future.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
