The basic features are now working, we have tested HoG keyboard and
mouse. The major features missing related to HID are output/feature
reports, and suspend.

My HID knowledge is quite limited but it seems that output reports are
not working on uhid, at least I didn't see events from the host. Even
for USB keyboard it doesn't work, do you have any pointers?

BR,
Claudio
