[PATCH] Generic HID layer - build This modifies Makefiles and Kconfigs to properly reflect the creation of generic HID layer. It also removes the dependency of BROKEN, which was introduced by the first patch in series (see the comment). Also updates credits.

HID: move away from DEBUG defines in favor of CONFIG_HID_DEBUG CONFIG_INPUT_DEBUG is non-existent option, so remove anything depending on it. Also, as we have new CONFIG_HID_DEBUG, this should be used on places where ifdef DEBUG was used before. Suggested by Adrian Bunk.

HID: hid debug from hid-debug.h to hid layer hid-debug.h contains a lot of code, and should not therefore be a header. This patch moves the code to generic hid layer as .c source, and introduces CONFIG_HID_DEBUG to conditionally compile it, instead of playing with #define DEBUG and including hid-debug.h.

HID: add hidraw interface hidraw is an interface that is going to obsolete hiddev one day. Many userland applications are using libusb instead of using kernel-provided hiddev interface. This is caused by various reasons - the HID parser in kernel doesn't handle all the HID hardware on the planet properly, some devices might require its own specific quirks/drivers, etc. hiddev interface tries to do its best to parse all the received reports properly, and presents only parsed usages into userspace. This is however often not enough, and that's the reason why many userland applications just don't use hiddev at all, and rather use libusb to read raw USB events and process them on their own. Another drawback of hiddev is that it is USB-specific. hidraw interface provides userspace readers with really raw HID reports, no matter what the low-level transport layer is (USB/BT), and gives the userland applications all the freedom to process the HID reports in a way they wish to.

USB HID: move usbhid code from drivers/usb/input to drivers/hid/usbhid Separate usbhid code into dedicated drivers/hid/usbhid directory as discussed previously with Greg, so that it eases maintaineance process.
