Agreed.

Agreed again, while this will work, it seems lazy. After all, it's HID 
under Windows. OTOH, I like the flexibility of Linux's idea of telling 
uhid to go away and leave us to talk directly. It gives more driver 
compatibility and doesn't require kernel changes or quirks.

I think I'm missing something here. I've tried writing the data using 
USB_SET_REPORT (both UHID_OUTPUT_REPORT and UHID_FEATURE_REPORT) by 
putting the data in ucr_data[], but it hangs for a while and then gives an 
I/O error. Similarly, using hid_set_data() gives similar results.
