Sometimes HID drivers want to know if the hid_device with which they
are dealing is using the usb_hid_driver. For example this is often
done to check if it is safe to cast hid_device->dev.parent to an
usb_interface like this:
struct usb_interface *intf = to_usb_interface(hdev->dev.parent);
If drivers directly call hid_is_using_ll_driver(hdev, &usb_hid_driver))
for this, then this leads to a "missing symbol usb_hid_driver"
compilation error when CONFIG_USB_HID is not enabled. Requiring
the driver to have a depends on USB_HID in their Kconfig entry
to work around this.
Add a hid_is_usb_device() helper function which drivers can use
to safely check if they are dealing with a usb_hid device without
needing to worry about the CONFIG_USB_HID setting.
