Same here, I don't see the full picture, but I would suggest to not
export those functions at all.

>From 4/5, I can see that you are using them in
appleib_find_collection(), which is only called by
appleib_add_device(), which in turn is always called with a parsed and
started HID device. Why can you not rely on the core parsing and
iterate over the already parsed hid_field?
