  10           device drivers. This option alone does not add any kernel code.

  21           A human interface device (HID) is a type of computer device that
  22           interacts directly with and takes input from humans. The term "HID"
  23           most commonly used to refer to the USB-HID specification, but other
  24           devices (such as, but not strictly limited to, Bluetooth) are
  25           designed using HID specification (this involves certain keyboards,
  26           mice, tablets, etc). This option compiles into kernel the generic
  27           HID layer code (parser, usages, etc.), which can then be used by
  28           transport-specific HID implementation (like USB or Bluetooth).

  35         bool "HID debugging support"

  37         depends on HID
  38         ---help---
  39         This option lets the HID layer output diagnostics about its internal
  40         state, resolve HID usages, dump HID fields, etc. Individual HID drivers
  41         use this debugging facility to output information about individual HID
  42         devices, etc.
  43
  44         This feature is useful for those who are either debugging the HID parser
  45         or any HID hardware device.

  47         If unsure, say N

  50         bool "/dev/hidraw raw HID device support"
  51         depends on HID
  52         ---help---
  53         Say Y here if you want to support HID devices (from the USB
  54         specification standpoint) that aren't strictly user interface
  55         devices, like monitor controls and Uninterruptable Power Supplies.
  56
  57         This module supports these devices separately using a separate
  58         event interface on /dev/hidraw.
  59
  60         There is also a /dev/hiddev configuration option in the USB HID
  61         configuration menu. In comparison to hiddev, this device does not process
  62         the hid events at all (no parsing, no lookups). This lets applications
  63         to work on raw hid events when they want to, and avoid using transport-specific
  64         userspace libhid/libusb libraries.
  65
  66         If unsure, say Y.
