There is a need for userspace applications to open HID devices directly.
Use-cases include configuration of gaming mice or direct access to
joystick devices. The latter is currently handled by the uaccess tag in
systemd, other devices include more custom/local configurations or just
sudo.
A better approach is what we already have for evdev devices: give the
application a file descriptor and revoke it when it may no longer access
that device.
This patch is the hidraw equivalent to the EVIOCREVOKE ioctl, see

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 reStructuredText 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.
