This adds a new low-level HID driver that allows user-space to implement the transport-layer. This is needed by HOGP (HID over Gatt on Bluetooth Low Energy). There is already an implementation of HOGP, see the linux-bluetooth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list for this. I've split this into multiple patches to make review easier. This patchset is already working for several months for the HOGP developers but there may still be some issues with it. Please review. The uhid_*() functions implement the basic module functionality. The uhid_char_*() functions handle character-device related functionality. The uhid_dev_*() functions handle the uhid-device object and the uhid_hid_*() functions are HID-callbacks. I am open for any suggestions.
