What subsystem group handles hid devices?

What subsystem group handles hid devices?

[Carson]

Hi, I'm looking to write a device driver for a gamecube controller adapter. 
However there are 0 results when i search "hid" or "input" on the mailing 
list. Thanks

First of all, you should "reply to all" recipients when using public
mailing lists so that your message is seen by everyone involved. Only I
received this one.

As for the driver, make sure you're contacting the right person by
checking against the MAINTAINERS file or using the get_maintainer.pl
script (also in the kerner source directory). For contributing, check

Good luck!
