I'm not taking this crazy stuff after the merge window.

Even *during* the merge window this would probably have made me go
"WTF? Eww!" if I  had noticed.

What is that odd binary blob i2c_hid_desc_override, and where does the
data come from? Not explained anywhere.

We don't just add random binary data without explaining it.
