Title:
  [SRU] digimend-dkms 10-4: digimend kernel module failed to build

Status in digimend-dkms package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in digimend-dkms source package in Jammy:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  digimend-dkms fails to install if the user is using the hwe kernel which is v6.5 as the dkms module will fail to build during installation.
  The error being:

  /var/lib/dkms/digimend/10/build/hid-uclogic-params.c: In function ‘uclogic_params_init’:
  /var/lib/dkms/digimend/10/build/hid-uclogic-params.c:1030:17: error: implicit declaration of function ‘hid_is_using_ll_driver’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
   1030 |             || !hid_is_using_ll_driver(hdev, &usb_hid_driver)
        |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  [ Test Plan ]

  This needs to be done on both the hwe kernel (v6.5) and the generic
  kernel (v5.15) to ensure it works on both.

  * install digimend-dkms
  * successfull installation will mean the build failure has been fixed.
  * As a very basic test, try to load the module "sudo modprobe hid-polostar" and "sudo modprobe hid-viewsonic"

  Ideally someone with the hardware should test and confirm.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  This change is only affecting the users of hwe kernel (v6.5) and the
  only change is using the new function which upstream has defined.
  Similar changes has been done to other upstream drivers as can be seen
  at the upstream kernel patch link and has little chance of regression
  due to this.

  [ Other Info ]

   * The new function has been added in upstream linux kernel by https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f83baa0cb6cfc92ebaf7f9d3a99d7e34f2e77a8a
   * The old function has been removed by https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1d9ca84ce034960707b62ce7d5ca75d04f8db91a
