This driver isn't really a generic (transport-agnostic) one (which also 
means it's missing USB dependency in Kconfig btw).

Is there a reason why it can't be abstracted that way so that it'd fit our 
principal model in HID subsystem?

Also, I've looked at it really briefly, but can't it be easily implemented 
in userspace?

Thanks,
