Benjamin Tissoires e04a0442d3 HID: core: remove the absolute need of hid_have_special_driver[]
Most HID devices behave properly when they are used with hid-generic.
Since kernel v4.12, we do not poll for input reports at plug in, so
hid-generic should behave properly with all HID devices.

There has been a long standing list of HID devices that have a special
driver. It used to be just a few, but with time, this list went too big,
and we can not ask users to know which HID special driver will pick up
their device.

We can teach hid-generic to be nice with others. If a device is not
explicitly marked with HID_QUIRK_HAVE_SPECIAL_DRIVER, we can allow
hid-generic to pick up the device as long as no other loaded HID driver
will match the device.

When the special driver appears, hid-generic can step back and let
the special driver handling the device. In case this special driver
is removed, this good old pal of hid-generic will rebind to the device.

This basically makes the list hid_have_special_driver[] useless. It
still allows to not see a hid-generic driver bound and removed during
boot, so we can keep it around.

This will also help other people to have a special HID driver without
the need of recompiling hid-core.
