Looks like the wrong place for this driver. HID-over-USB support lives
under drivers/hid, so your driver should go there as well. Not only
this will be more consistent, but it also makes more sense: your driver
is a user, not an implementer, of the I2C layer, so it doesn't belong
to drivers/i2c.

Also, you need to sort out dependencies. Your causes a link failure here:

ERROR: "hiddev_report_event" [drivers/i2c/i2c-hid.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "hiddev_disconnect" [drivers/i2c/i2c-hid.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "hiddev_connect" [drivers/i2c/i2c-hid.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "hid_pidff_init" [drivers/i2c/i2c-hid.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Erreur 1
make: *** [modules] Erreur 2

This is because these functions aren't exported and I tried to build
i2c-hid as a module.BTW I see that these functions are part of the
usbhid driver, which looks seriously wrong. If these functions are
transport layer-independent, they should be moved to the hid-code or
some sub-module. One should be able to enable HID-over-I2C without
HID-over-USB.
