Since hid_connect() only cares about hiddev_connect() succeeding or
failing, there is no need for this function to return an int and it can
return a bool instead.

Hi,

The suggestion to change the return type of the function was made in:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/5/330

In relation to hiddev_connect() returning the wrong errno code.

Thanks,
Luis
