Well, until any better solution is proposed (in the form of patch), I'm 
applying Arnd's patch introducing the hard dependency. We can always 
revisit this later.

The dependency is currently simply there, because we do rely on the actual 
existence of usb_hid_driver structure for the purpose of testing against 
it.
