[ Upstream commit 1e839143d674603b0bbbc4c513bca35404967dbc ] This unique identifier is currently used only for ensuring uniqueness in sysfs. However, this could be handful for userspace to refer to a specific hid_device by this id. 2 use cases are in my mind: LEDs (and their naming convention), and HID-BPF.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
