I have a tentative patch taking your comments into account, and it is
likely that we want to go that way. However, as to not hold up your
patchset, perhaps we could do without it for now.

Regarding the hardwired usbhid dependency, I think the solution is to
move that code to usbhid itself.

Thanks,
Henrik
