[PATCH 1/3] HID: introduce helper for hid_driver boilerplate

[H Hartley Sweeten <hartleys@visionengravers.com>]

Introduce the module_hid_driver macro which is a convenience macro
for HID driver modules similar to module_usb_driver. It is intended
to be used by drivers with init/exit sections that do nothing but
register/unregister the HID driver.
