Same issue with Gembird KB-316BT on Ubuntu 15.04.

Error reproduces on fresh compiled kernel 4.4.0-rc8+ from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth-next.git
and 4.5.0-rc1+ from Torvalds repository.
And bluez ver. 5.37.

In dmesg after keyboard was connected:

When keyboard connected and Caps Lock was pressed, but if i turn off the keyboard strace shows fall of POLLIN/POLLOUT events in infinite cycle...

debugfs shows events with lag from 3 to 20 sec:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/hid/0005:04E8:7021.0026/events
report (size 8) (numbered) = 03 6a dc 2c 26 15 5f 90
GenericDeviceControls.BatteryStrength = 106
 00
Keyboard.00e0 = 0
Keyboard.00e1 = 0
Keyboard.00e2 = 0
Keyboard.00e3 = 0
Keyboard.00e4 = 0
Keyboard.00e5 = 0
Keyboard.00e6 = 0
Keyboard.00e7 = 0
Keyboard.0017 = 0

but wireshark continue recieving characters without any lag from bluetooth (bnep0) after issue occur, so i suggest that problem not in btintel/btusb kernel modules subsystem, but in hid-core probably.
