the hidp kernel module is designed to implement only HIDP. It works
mostly the same way as BNEP and CMTP, but it needs a lot more
information from the SDP database of the remote device. Thus the
structures had to evolve over time and now I think I found the perfect
match on what the kernel has to know and what not. You can look at the
hidp_connadd_req struct in libs/include/hidp.h and see what I mean. The
problem of hidd at the moment is that it only fills in the sockets and
the report descriptor data. Once hidd had given the connection to the
hidp module everything else is done inside the kernel. This means that
you can even stop and restart hidd without losing your input device.

Regards

Marcel
