+ 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.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
