Thanks for your work, David. I'll test and review this new version.
Did you find out the what is the problem when passing BUS_BLUETOOTH on
the 'bus' field of the create request?

Also, how does the HID subsystem differentiate from HID protocol
versions? We've just found out that HoG exposes what HID protocol
version the device implements, is it the case of having an extra field
on the uhid_create_req structure to pass this information, or is it
already present on the HID descriptor (sorry for my limited knowledge
on the HID protocol itself)?
