Henrik,

I have applied this one right away, so you can drop it from your series. 
The remaining ones I am still about to review (currently travelling).

There is no inter-dependency between the Input and HID ones, and so we can 
handle them with Dmitry as two independent Input and HID series, right?

Thanks a lot,
