by userspace. Anything else that HID might require to work better. Or that BR/EDR or LE provides additionally over USB.=20 Beside phys and uniq I have copied all information that HIDP and USBHID use. I haven't found any other field that could be of interest here. We can also always add UHID_CREATE2 with additional fields to allow further additions (or use a "size" field as you suggested below).
HID report descriptor may reference Physical Descriptor (HID 6.2.3) and String Descriptor entries (USB 9.6.8, HID E.11). Physical Descriptor blob could be another __user buffer + size in uhid_create_req. String descriptor should probably be an event for querying strings. hidraw interface also offers access to Feature Reports, adding events to send/receive and query (kernel querying uhid client) feature reports could be of some interest.
