Henrik, Jiri,
commit 8215d557e5f3a70e50e07c857d35c250fee62a73 results in no keyboard or mouse during early boot on systems where those are USB-based and HID=m, since nothing there can possibly be aware that this new driver needs to be manually loaded for e.g. interactive startup mode to be useful, as it would have to make it into initrd, yet the mkinitrd machinery can't reasonably know of it.
Imo, with the functionality having been previously provided by usbhid.ko, that module should cause hid-generic to be pulled in automatically.
(Also, just as a side note, a Kconfig default of 'y' is pointless for a tristate option that depends on another tristate one, when that one was already set to 'm' - the default really should be the value of the depended upon symbol.)
Jan
