6. HID function
===============
The function is provided by usb_f_hid.ko module.
Function-specific configfs interface
------------------------------------
The function name to use when creating the function directory is "hid".
The HID function provides these attributes in its function directory:
protocol - HID protocol to use
report_desc - data to be used in HID reports, except data
passed with /dev/hidg<X>
report_length - HID report length
subclass - HID subclass to use
For a keyboard the protocol and the subclass are 1, the report_length is 8,
while the report_desc is:
$ hd my_report_desc
00000000 05 01 09 06 a1 01 05 07 19 e0 29 e7 15 00 25 01 |..........)...%.|

Such a sequence of bytes can be stored to the attribute with echo:
$ echo -ne \\x05\\x01\\x09\\x06\\xa1.....
Testing the HID function
------------------------
Device:
- create the gadget
- connect the gadget to a host, preferably not the one used
to control the gadget
- run a program which writes to /dev/hidg<N>, e.g.
a userspace program found in Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt:
$ ./hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg0 keyboard
Host:
- observe the keystrokes from the gadget
