Althought the general rule of thumb is to not add any new default-to-on
options for things that are not crucial core infrastructure of the kernel,
the hid-plantronics driver prevents hid-input from mapping unknown
Plantronics vendor unique usages to random mouse events.
The result of this default mapping of unknown usages is that unexpected
mouse or touchpad events can occur or be blocked when buttons are pressed
on some Plantronics devices. Having this driver available as a module
will prevent this core mapping.
Patched against git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git
with part 1 of this patch set applied.
