This is really HIDeous. Disgusting.

The new Kconfig options are almost uselessly described, and very annoying 
and this adds several new warnings of the type:

	drivers/hid/hid-lg.c:342: warning: ‘hid_compat_logitech’ defined but not used

which is just unacceptable.

I have an entirely warningless build. I'm not going to break that over 
something like this. Not pulled. Please fix.

As to the Kconfig options - do they really add so much space that you need 
to ask for the quirks? You didn't use to. Can you make the questions 
depend on EMBEDDED, or at least on the HID_COMPAT thing or whatever?
