I guess that this paragraph wasn't for me, but rather for the author of
the HID Simple Driver proposal, am I right?
Yes, mainly for him but also for you because we need to be able to do
what Li Yu is trying to do and be able to tweak HID interfaces.

This split is quite painful, as there are many things happening in USB all
the time, so the best way seem to be just to perform big split (with
needed changes) at once, and then develop other things on top of it (like
hidraw).
Is there any reason why we can't mecanically move everything into
drivers/hid right now? Then Greg could simply forward all patches he
gets for HID your way and you won't have hard time merging your work
with others...
