First of all, thanks for your effort. I haven't looked at the code
yet, but thinking again about the problem and since it's very similar
to uinput, would adding another ioctl to uinput that receives the HID
descriptor and put uinput in a "HID mode" be sufficient? This way we
could increase code reuse and ease maintainance, I guess. What do you
think?
