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.Added Reference https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1b297ab6f38ca60a4ca7298b297944ec6043b2f4 Added Reference https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b0931eee48208c25bb77486946dea8e96aa6a36 Added Reference https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/35f1a5360ac68d9629abbb3930a0a07901cba296 Added Reference https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3ce1d87d1f5d80322757aa917182deb7370963b9 Added Reference https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/54bae4c17c11688339eb73a04fd24203bb6e7494 Added Reference https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ac00f019698f614a49cce34c198d0568ab0e1c2 Added Reference https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a2a91abd19c574b598b1c69ad76ad9c7eedaf062 Added Reference https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c72536350e82b53a1be0f3bfdf1511bba2827102
