I think such a big feature as this one, especially that most BPF folks
are (probably) not familiar with the HID subsystem in the kernel,
would benefit from a bit of live discussion during BPF office hours.
Do you think you can give a short overview of what you are trying to
achieve with some background context on HID specifics at one of the
next BPF office hours? We have a meeting scheduled every week on
Thursday, 9am Pacific time. But people need to put their topic onto
the agenda, otherwise the meeting is cancelled. See [0] for
spreadsheet and links to Zoom meeting, agenda, etc.
