The HID subsystem was made a proper bus in 2008, but the config options do not reflect this. Modify the HID and USB_HID entries to better explain what they do. Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Jiri, As the HID subsystem moves more and more towards a regular bus, the config options become less and less apt. This patch, for next, only scratches the surface but hopefully in the right direction.
