Simple but effective way of changing HID device descriptors using
firmware loading mechanism.
Just place your new descriptor in a location specified by driver
i.e. somewhere in /lib/firmware/hid/
If it is there it will replace HID descriptor from the device.
I do not do any parsing or checking, as it is done by hid driver.

Subject: [RFC] Simple but effective way of chaging HID device descriptors
Simple but effective way of chaging HID device descriptorsusing firmware loading mechanism.
Just place your new descriptor in a location specified by driver
i.e. somewhere in /lib/firmware/hid/
If it is there it will replace HID descriptor from the device.
