I don't understand the comment above ? You are adding this to all struct
hid_device ? There can be only one of those keyboards plugged at one
point in time, I don't think there is any problem having the above
static in the driver rather than in the hid_device structure.

Dimitry might disagree but it's generally considered bad taste to have
{ and } for a single statement :)
