Jiri:

There's something very fishy going on here.  Even more so than these 
bug reports suggest.

The whole business about hiddev_driver in hiddev.c looks bogus.  It
doesn't get used for anything and it never binds to an interface.  
Which means that the usb_find_interface call in hiddev_open should
never succeed.  At the very least it would need to specify hid_driver
instead of hiddev_driver.

I have no idea what's really happening.  Can you figure it out?
