Help text

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 Uninterruptible Power Supplies.

This module supports these devices separately using a separate event interface on /dev/usb/hiddevX (char 180:96 to 180:111).

If unsure, say Y.
