This patch (as1146c) makes usbhid automatically call usbhid_set_leds()
for any device that supports the keyboard boot protocol.
In theory this should be perfectly safe. BIOSes send the LED output
report as part of their normal device initialization, so any keyboard
device supporting the boot protocol has to be able to handle it.
As a side effect, the hid-dell and hid-bright drivers are no longer
needed, and the Logitech keyboard driver can be removed from hid-lg.

Update the help texts for the HID-quirk drivers, so that they are a little
bit more descriptive.
Also make some obsolete help descriptions up to date.

Commit 9be7bbd54d
(HID: build drivers for all quirky devices by default)
made a wrong assumption about select/depends interaction in Kconfig,
resulting in possibility of link failure with certain configuration
options.
Fix this by explicitly having all the quirk-drivers depend on
USB_HID, default to y and make the possibility to alter the
settings dependent on EBMEDDED.

Once kernel configuration has CONFIG_HID turned on, let also all the
specialized drivers for quirky devices to be built (unless CONFIG_EMBEDDED is
specified), as usually users don't care that much which driver
gives them the functionality, but when they want generic support, they
probably want to have support for all the quirky devices as well.

hidraw is an interface that is going to obsolete hiddev one
day.
Many userland applications are using libusb instead of using
kernel-provided hiddev interface. This is caused by various
reasons - the HID parser in kernel doesn't handle all the
HID hardware on the planet properly, some devices might require
its own specific quirks/drivers, etc.
hiddev interface tries to do its best to parse all the received
reports properly, and presents only parsed usages into userspace.
This is however often not enough, and that's the reason why
many userland applications just don't use hiddev at all, and
rather use libusb to read raw USB events and process them on
their own.
Another drawback of hiddev is that it is USB-specific.
hidraw interface provides userspace readers with really raw HID
reports, no matter what the low-level transport layer is (USB/BT),
and gives the userland applications all the freedom to process
the HID reports in a way they wish to.

Make a "menuconfig" out of the Kconfig objects "menu, ..., endmenu",
so that the user can disable all the options in that menu at once
instead of having to disable each option separately.

There have been many reports recently about broken HID devices, the
diagnosis of which required users to recompile their kernels in order
to be able to provide debugging output needed for coding a quirk for
a particular device.
This patch makes CONFIG_HID_DEBUG default y if !EMBEDDED and makes it
possible to control debugging output produced by HID code by supplying
'debug=1' module parameter.

hid-debug.h contains a lot of code, and should not therefore
be a header.
This patch moves the code to generic hid layer as .c source, and
introduces CONFIG_HID_DEBUG to conditionally compile it, instead
of playing with #define DEBUG and including hid-debug.h.

The help text for CONFIG_HID might imply for someone that
it's necessary to enable it for any keyboard or mouse
attached to the system. This is obviously not correct, so
fix it to avoid confusing the users.

HID it defaults to 'y'. When you have input deselected, this

Fix it by making it depend on INPUT.

This modifies Makefiles and Kconfigs to properly reflect the creation of

It also removes the dependency of BROKEN, which was introduced by the
first patch in series (see the comment). Also updates credits.
