docs: hid: convert to ReST
Rename the HID documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. While here, fix the sysfs example from hid-sensor.txt, that has a lot of "?" instead of the proper UTF-8 characters that are produced by the tree command. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Called once during device setup after ->start() has been called. Transport

about it via hid_parse_report().
- - int (*power) (struct hid_device *hdev, int level)

Called by HID core to give PM hints to transport drivers. Usually this is
analogical to the ->open() and ->close() hints and redundant.

- int reqtype)
+ ::
+
+ void (*request) (struct hid_device *hdev, struct hid_report *report,
+ int reqtype)
+
Send an HID request on the ctrl channel. "report" contains the report that
should be sent and "reqtype" the request type. Request-type can be
HID_REQ_SET_REPORT or HID_REQ_GET_REPORT.
+
This callback is optional. If not provided, HID core will assemble a raw
report following the HID specs and send it via the ->raw_request() callback.
The transport driver is free to implement this asynchronously.

+
+ int (*wait) (struct hid_device *hdev)

Used by HID core before calling ->request() again. A transport driver can use
it to wait for any pending requests to complete if only one request is
allowed at a time.

+
+ int (*raw_request) (struct hid_device *hdev, unsigned char reportnum,
+ __u8 *buf, size_t count, unsigned char rtype,
+ int reqtype)
+
Same as ->request() but provides the report as raw buffer. This request shall
be synchronous. A transport driver must not use ->wait() to complete such
requests. This request is mandatory and hid core will reject the device if
it is missing.
- - int (*output_report) (struct hid_device *hdev, __u8 *buf, size_t len)
+ ::
+
+ int (*output_report) (struct hid_device *hdev, __u8 *buf, size_t len)
+
Send raw output report via intr channel. Used by some HID device drivers
which require high throughput for outgoing requests on the intr channel. This
must not cause SET_REPORT calls! This must be implemented as asynchronous
output report on the intr channel!
- - int (*idle) (struct hid_device *hdev, int report, int idle, int reqtype)
