Many HID drivers assume that the HID device assigned to them is a USB
device as that was the only way HID devices used to be able to be
created in Linux.  However, with the additional ways that HID devices
can be created for many different bus types, that is no longer true, so
properly check that we have a USB device associated with the HID device
before allowing a driver that makes this assumption to claim it.

v3: add check in hid-sony based on fix from Benjamin.
Sigh. This morning I realized my fix was incomplete as the error path
of the GHL devices handling is not releasing the hidraw node.
I have a followup patch ready that I am about to send as soon as I get
the full tests run.

Also, I guess we want this series to land in 5.16-rc4 or rc5 and mark
it as stable, no?
If so, I'll add the cc stable@vger.kernel.org marks so you don't need
to keep tabs on it.
That would be great, thanks!

Besides that, I tested the wacom change on an I2C screen, and it is
still working as expected, so I think the wacom changes are safe.

Wonderful.

Note, I did just get some really odd 0-day error messages from this
patch series:
      https://lore.kernel.org/r/202112021000.3GKuE8mS-lkp@intel.com (local)
      https://lore.kernel.org/r/202112020808.AZ5usuXj-lkp@intel.com (local)

Which looks like a dependancy issue that might have always been there.
I'll work on resolving that after lunch...
Now sent:
        https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211202114819.2511954-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org (local)
\o/
I can resend it as a v4 series that adds this to the end of the series
if you want me to.
That's fine. I already locally scheduled the v3, this other series
above and my 2 first patches from my series that you reviewed today.
I also added the cc: stable markers (though I haven't checked exactly
which versions it applies to).

Once my automated suite is happy I'll push them to hid.git.

Thanks for your time Greg!

Cheers,
Benjamin
