I spent a little more time looking at this, and I'm not sure I
understand where the actual space for the descriptors comes from?
There's interface->extra that is being parsed, and effectively
hid_descriptor is being mapped into it, but it uses "sizeof(struct
hid_descriptor)" for the limit. Is more than 1 descriptor expected to
work correctly? Or is the limit being ignored? I'm a bit confused by
this code...
