Phoronix: Linux 6.1 Change Aims To Auto-Detect Logitech HID++ High Resolution Scrolling Support

Currently Linux's Logitech HID++ driver "hid-logitech-hidpp" relies on a static list of device quirks for indicating which Logitech mice support high resolution scrolling.

GNome dropped support for adjusting scroll.

Sorry to nitpick on the choice of semantics here, but perhaps you can consider following Inclusive Naming conventions. Thanks.
