3.16.35-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoi...@redhat.com>
commit 9578f41aeaee5010384f4f8484da1566e2ce4901 upstream.
This allows the transport layer (I have in mind hid-logitech-dj and uhid)
to set the group before it is added to the hid bus. This way, it can
bypass the hid_scan_report() call, and choose in advance which driver
will handle the newly created hid device.
