+       Say Y here if you want to provide HID I/O Drivers from user-space.
+       This allows to write I/O drivers in user-space and feed the data from
+       the device into the kernel. The kernel parses the HID reports, loads the
+       corresponding HID Device Driver or provides input devices on top of your
+       user-space device.
+
+       This driver cannot be used to parse HID-reports in user-space and write
+       special HID-drivers. You should use hidraw for that.
+       Instead, this driver allows to write the transport-layer driver in
+       user-space like USB-HID and Bluetooth-HID do in kernel-space.
+
+       If unsure, say N.
+
+       To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+       module will be called uhid.
