+       Say Y here if you want to support HID devices (from the USB
+       specification standpoint) that aren't strictly user interface
+       devices, like monitor controls and Uninterruptable Power Supplies.
+
+       This module supports these devices separately using a separate
+       event interface on /dev/hidraw.
+
+       There is also a /dev/hiddev configuration option in the USB HID
+       configuration menu. In comparison to hiddev, this device does not process
+       the hid events at all (no parsing, no lookups). This lets applications
+       to work on raw hid events when they want to, and avoid using transport-specific
+       userspace libhid/libusb libraries.
