Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v9 08/23] HID: core: store the unique system identifier in hid_device

This unique identifier is currently used only for ensuring uniqueness in
sysfs. However, this could be handful for userspace to refer to a specific
hid_device by this id.

2 use cases are in my mind: LEDs (and their naming convention), and
HID-BPF.
