Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the hid tree with Linus' tree

Hi Jiri,

Today's linux-next merge of the hid tree got a conflict in
drivers/hid/Kconfig between commit 1f41a6a99476 ("HID: Fix the generic
Kconfig options") from Linus' tree and commit 1ccd7a2a33f2 ("HID: uhid:
introduce user-space I/O driver support for HID") from the hid tree.

Just context changes.  I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as
necessary.

Cheers,

+ 	Say Y here if you want to provide HID I/O Drivers from user-space.
+ 	This allows to write I/O drivers in user-space and feed the data from
+ 	the device into the kernel. The kernel parses the HID reports, loads the
+ 	corresponding HID Device Driver or provides input devices on top of your
+ 	user-space device.
+ 
+ 	This driver cannot be used to parse HID-reports in user-space and write
+ 	special HID-drivers. You should use hidraw for that.
+ 	Instead, this driver allows to write the transport-layer driver in
+ 	user-space like USB-HID and Bluetooth-HID do in kernel-space.
+ 
+ 	If unsure, say N.
+ 
+ 	To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
