docs: hid: convert to ReST

Rename the HID documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.

While here, fix the sysfs example from hid-sensor.txt, that
has a lot of "?" instead of the proper UTF-8 characters that
are produced by the tree command.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

The available HID callbacks are:
- int (*start) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
int (*start) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Called from HID device drivers once they want to use the device. Transport
drivers can choose to setup their device in this callback. However, normally
devices are already set up before transport drivers register them to HID core
so this is mostly only used by USB-HID.
- void (*stop) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
void (*stop) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Called from HID device drivers once they are done with a device. Transport
drivers can free any buffers and deinitialize the device. But note that
->start() might be called again if another HID device driver is loaded on the
device.
Transport drivers are free to ignore it and deinitialize devices after they
destroyed them via hid_destroy_device().
- int (*open) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
int (*open) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Called from HID device drivers once they are interested in data reports.
Usually, while user-space didn't open any input API/etc., device drivers are
not interested in device data and transport drivers can put devices asleep.
However, once ->open() is called, transport drivers must be ready for I/O.
->open() calls are nested for each client that opens the HID device.
- void (*close) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
void (*close) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Called from HID device drivers after ->open() was called but they are no
longer interested in device reports. (Usually if user-space closed any input
devices of the driver).
Transport drivers can put devices asleep and terminate any I/O of all
->open() calls have been followed by a ->close() call. However, ->start() may
be called again if the device driver is interested in input reports again.
- int (*parse) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
int (*parse) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Called once during device setup after ->start() has been called. Transport
drivers must read the HID report-descriptor from the device and tell HID core
about it via hid_parse_report().
- int (*power) (struct hid_device *hdev, int level)
::
int (*power) (struct hid_device *hdev, int level)
Called by HID core to give PM hints to transport drivers. Usually this is
analogical to the ->open() and ->close() hints and redundant.
- void (*request) (struct hid_device *hdev, struct hid_report *report,
::
void (*request) (struct hid_device *hdev, struct hid_report *report,
int reqtype)
Send an HID request on the ctrl channel. "report" contains the report that
should be sent and "reqtype" the request type. Request-type can be
HID_REQ_SET_REPORT or HID_REQ_GET_REPORT.
This callback is optional. If not provided, HID core will assemble a raw
report following the HID specs and send it via the ->raw_request() callback.
The transport driver is free to implement this asynchronously.
- int (*wait) (struct hid_device *hdev)
::
int (*wait) (struct hid_device *hdev)
Used by HID core before calling ->request() again. A transport driver can use
it to wait for any pending requests to complete if only one request is
allowed at a time.

::
int (*raw_request) (struct hid_device *hdev, unsigned char reportnum,
__u8 *buf, size_t count, unsigned char rtype,
int reqtype)
Same as ->request() but provides the report as raw buffer. This request shall
be synchronous. A transport driver must not use ->wait() to complete such
requests. This request is mandatory and hid core will reject the device if
it is missing.
- int (*output_report) (struct hid_device *hdev, __u8 *buf, size_t len)
::
int (*output_report) (struct hid_device *hdev, __u8 *buf, size_t len)
Send raw output report via intr channel. Used by some HID device drivers
which require high throughput for outgoing requests on the intr channel. This
must not cause SET_REPORT calls! This must be implemented as asynchronous
output report on the intr channel!
- int (*idle) (struct hid_device *hdev, int report, int idle, int reqtype)

UHID_CREATE2:
UHID_CREATE2:
This creates the internal HID device. No I/O is possible until you send this
event to the kernel. The payload is of type struct uhid_create2_req and
contains information about your device. You can start I/O now.
UHID_DESTROY:
UHID_DESTROY:
This destroys the internal HID device. No further I/O will be accepted. There
may still be pending messages that you can receive with read() but no further
UHID_INPUT events can be sent to the kernel.
You can create a new device by sending UHID_CREATE2 again. There is no need to
reopen the character device.
UHID_INPUT2:
UHID_INPUT2:
You must send UHID_CREATE2 before sending input to the kernel! This event
contains a data-payload. This is the raw data that you read from your device
on the interrupt channel. The kernel will parse the HID reports.
UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY:
UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY:
If you receive a UHID_GET_REPORT request you must answer with this request.
You must copy the "id" field from the request into the answer. Set the "err"
field to 0 if no error occurred or to EIO if an I/O error occurred.
If "err" is 0 then you should fill the buffer of the answer with the results
of the GET_REPORT request and set "size" correspondingly.
UHID_SET_REPORT_REPLY:
UHID_SET_REPORT_REPLY:
This is the SET_REPORT equivalent of UHID_GET_REPORT_REPLY. Unlike GET_REPORT,
SET_REPORT never returns a data buffer, therefore, it's sufficient to set the
"id" and "err" fields correctly.

UHID_START:
UHID_START:
This is sent when the HID device is started. Consider this as an answer to
UHID_CREATE2. This is always the first event that is sent. Note that this

This event contains a payload of type uhid_start_req. The "dev_flags" field

UHID_STOP:
UHID_STOP:
This is sent when the HID device is stopped. Consider this as an answer to
UHID_DESTROY.
If you didn't destroy your device via UHID_DESTROY, but the kernel sends an
UHID_STOP event, this should usually be ignored. It means that the kernel
reloaded/changed the device driver loaded on your HID device (or some other
maintenance actions happened).
You can usually ignored any UHID_STOP events safely.
UHID_OPEN:
UHID_OPEN:
This is sent when the HID device is opened. That is, the data that the HID
device provides is read by some other process. You may ignore this event but
it is useful for power-management. As long as you haven't received this event
there is actually no other process that reads your data so there is no need to
send UHID_INPUT2 events to the kernel.
UHID_CLOSE:
UHID_CLOSE:
This is sent when there are no more processes which read the HID data. It is
the counterpart of UHID_OPEN and you may as well ignore this event.
UHID_OUTPUT:
UHID_OUTPUT:
This is sent if the HID device driver wants to send raw data to the I/O
device on the interrupt channel. You should read the payload and forward it to
the device. The payload is of type "struct uhid_output_req".
This may be received even though you haven't received UHID_OPEN, yet.
UHID_GET_REPORT:
UHID_GET_REPORT:
This event is sent if the kernel driver wants to perform a GET_REPORT request
on the control channeld as described in the HID specs. The report-type and
report-number are available in the payload.

UHID_SET_REPORT:
UHID_SET_REPORT:
This is the SET_REPORT equivalent of UHID_GET_REPORT. On receipt, you shall
send a SET_REPORT request to your hid device. Once it replies, you must tell
the kernel about it via UHID_SET_REPORT_REPLY.
The same restrictions as for UHID_GET_REPORT apply.
