CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV option for odroid xu4 kernel (possibly others)

[Sean]

Hello,

I would like to propose a change to the default kernel config for the Odroid XU4. This could *possibliy* done across all kernels:

config-4.14.111-odroidxu4:

CONFIG_USB_HID=m
# CONFIG_HID_PID is not set
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y

Basically it enables the USB_HID as a module instead of being compiled in and then enables the USB_HIDDEV which in my case the APCUPSD needs the option in order to communicate with the APC UPS device. 

 

From what I have read others have run into this problem and this would fix it. Does not seem there would be impact on anything else.

 

Is it worth while making a pull request for this for the XU4 and/or others?

CONFIG_HID_PID not needed, joystick force feedback related.
