Commit 1ff2e1a44e ("HID: input: Create a utility class for counting
scroll events") created the helper function
hid_scroll_counter_handle_scroll()
to handle high-res scroll events and also expose them as regular wheel
events.
But the resulting algorithm was unstable, and causes scrolling to be
very unreliable. When you hit the half-way mark of the highres
multiplier, small highres movements will incorrectly translate into big
traditional wheel movements, causing odd jitters.
Simplify the code and make the output stable.
NOTE! I'm pretty sure this will need further tweaking. But this at
least turns a unusable mouse wheel on my Logitech MX Anywhere 2S into
a usable one.

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.
