Overall the patchset looks good to me. I'd suggest we keep 
CONFIG_HID_THINGM as a stub though, that'd just select CONFIG_HID_LED, so 
that we don't cause kernel config regressions for users who had 
CONFIG_HID_THINGM already turned on.

Also adding Vivien Didelot to CC, as the author of the original driver. 
Vivien, the full set can be found in linux-input archives (
