Re: [PATCH] hid: core: add managed version of hid_hw_start

Most calls to hid_hw_stop are boilerplate code. The function comment

when something failed and hid_hw_start was called already."

A managed version of hid_hw_start allows to avoid this boilerplate
code in most cases (similar to the other devm_ functions). 
hid_hw_stop is called automatically before the device is deleted.

Generally I agree with the idea, but I'll be merging this only together 
with patches that are converting drivers to actually use this API.

Thanks,
