HID: uhid: introduce user-space I/O driver support for HID 



This adds a dummy driver that will support user-space I/O drivers for the
HID subsystem. This allows to write transport-level drivers like USB-HID
and Bluetooth-HID in user-space.

Low-Energy Bluetooth needs this to feed HID data that is parsed in
user-space back into the kernel.

	Say Y here if you want to provide HID I/O Drivers from user-space.

	This allows to write I/O drivers in user-space and feed the data from

	the device into the kernel. The kernel parses the HID reports, loads the

	corresponding HID Device Driver or provides input devices on top of your

	user-space device.



	This driver cannot be used to parse HID-reports in user-space and write

	special HID-drivers. You should use hidraw for that.

	Instead, this driver allows to write the transport-layer driver in

	user-space like USB-HID and Bluetooth-HID do in kernel-space.



	If unsure, say N.



	To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

	module will be called uhid.
