This allows to selectively autoload drivers for ISH devices. Currently all ISH drivers are loaded for all systems having any ISH device.

Having some sort of driver_data (1) field here would be good IMHO.Fine for me. I left it out because nothing would be using it at the moment and it would have been easy to add when needed.
IMHO having a device_id without a context/driver_data field would be weird and is likely asking for needless churn in the future, but see below.
Do you want me to send a v2 for that or would you add it when merging? (Or remove the spurious comment)
As I indicated in my reply to the cover-letter, I believe this series should be merged through the HID tree, so this is up to the HID maintainers to decide. Regards, Hans p.s. Thank you for doing this series I did not realize that the eclite driver would end up being loaded on all systems where the ISH is used, thank you for fixing this.
