Thanks. Generally, I like the idea of appleir being on the hid bus.

Bastien, could you please provide your Ack (and most importantly also
Tested-by?).

Can't we just use HID debugfs interface for this kind of debugging output?

Could you please make this comment in-line with kernel comments coding
