I'd tend to agree with this comment.  My choice to use a USB minor number may be a 
source of controversy in itself, but I think that hiddev is HID specific (I'd say it's 
USB specific, except then I'd get someone chiming in and saying "don't forget IEEE 
1394 HID.").  The interfaces available through input subsystem, as I understand it, 
are supposed to be independent of the way the devices are attached.  I worked to make 
the hiddev code architecturally independent of the input code as a result.  Does this 
way of thinking conflict with yours, Vojtech?
