From 1ccd7a2a33f2b47e46c51f4501e9623a51d28090 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 15:16:13 +0200 Subject: HID: uhid: introduce user-space I/O driver support for HID This adds a dummy driver that will support user-space I/O drivers for the HID subsystem. This allows to write transport-level drivers like USB-HID and Bluetooth-HID in user-space. Low-Energy Bluetooth needs this to feed HID data that is parsed in user-space back into the kernel.
