Sounds good. I was actually thinking of doing a post_reset() and
post_resume().

I think the most common case would be for something like the G13 to
re-establish settings, which from the few devices I'm familiar with would
need to restart the hid subsystem first and then re-establish through
feature reports, et. al. after the hid_resume().

Also, that means that usbhid's hid_resume() doesn't need to be exposed in
the API, or even need to be usb specific.

Sounds good.

Thanks,
