Hi, the error is non-fatal in this case, in addition, it's intentional. The
module is there only for dependency loading and kills itself by returning the
error from load function to not eat resources any further after it does its job.
The module will be removed completely in next few releases.

Hi,

In fact, this was probably caused by CONFIG_HID_COMPAT=y which was 
loading all the hid_* modules(20~ or so) into the kernel. I disabled it 
and now the message has gone.

Thanks,
