d365c6cfd3 HID: uhid: add UHID_CREATE and UHID_DESTROY events
UHID_CREATE and UHID_DESTROY are used to create and destroy a device on an
open uhid char-device. Internally, we allocate and register an HID device
with the HID core and immediately start the device. From now on events may
be received or sent to the device.

The UHID_CREATE event has a payload similar to the data used by
Bluetooth-HIDP when creating a new connection.

ace3d8614a HID: uhid: add internal message buffer
When receiving messages from the HID subsystem, we need to process them
and store them in an internal buffer so user-space can read() on the char
device to retrieve the messages.

This adds a static buffer for 32 messages to each uhid device. Each
message is dynamically allocated so the uhid_device structure does not get
too big.

uhid_queue() adds a message to the buffer. If the buffer is full, the
message is discarded. uhid_queue_event() is an helper for messages without
payload.

This also adds a public header: uhid.h. It contains the declarations for
the user-space API. It is built around "struct uhid_event" which contains
a type field which specifies the event type and each event can then add a
variable-length payload. For now, there is only a dummy event but later
patches will add new event types and payloads.
