I haven't seen that hid-core uses them? I pass the report-descriptor
to hid_parse_report() and I don't see a way to pass in the phys-desc
or string-descriptors. Neither USBHID nor HIDP uses them or am I
missing something here?
Anyway, we can always add them with a UHID_CREATE_EXT or similar
command later if hid-core adds support for them.

Yeah, I haven't implemented this (yet) and I return -EOPNOTSUPP.
However, it's on my TODO list. Thanks!
