Thanks a lot for the new version. I like it much more on the HID side:

for the HID part:
Reviewed-by: Benjamin Tissoires <bentiss@...nel.org>

I wouldn't mind having this series taken from the drm tree if that is
easier. i2c-hid is a low patch rate driver, so having it updated through
DRM should not be an issue.

In that case:
Acked-by: Benjamin Tissoires <bentiss@...nel.org>

Benjamin
