Hi Nikolai, well, I am not really sure what value does it provide to have such functionality in the kernel. I can understand that it helps you when developing out-of-tree (yet) drivers ... but as you are patching the kernel anyway with those drivers, you can easily run a kernel that has hid_have_special_driver[] array adjusted accordingly. And once you are submitting the driver for inclusion, you are of course submitting it together with hid_have_special_driver[] addition. So it doesn't seem to be a debugging facility to me, and neither does it provide any added value for users of vanilla kernel. Hmm?
