HID: hid-msi: Add MSI Claw configuration driver

Browse source

Adds configuration HID driver for the MSI Claw series of handheld PC's.
In this initial patch add the initial driver outline and attributes for
changing the gamepad mode, M-key behavior, and add a WO reset function.

Sending the SWITCH_MODE and RESET commands causes a USB disconnect in
the device. The completion will therefore never get hit and would trigger
an -EIO. To avoid showing the user an error for every write to these
attrs a bypass for the completion handling is introduced when timeout ==
0.

The initial version of this patch was written by Denis Benato, which
contained the initial reverse-engineering and implementation for the
gamepad mode switching. This work was later expanded by Zhouwang Huang
to include more gamepad modes. Finally, I refactored the drivers data
in/out flow and overall format to conform to kernel driver best
practices and style guides. Claude was used as an initial reviewer of
this patch.
