Hello LKML, USB-ML, Vojtech!

The initialization order of hid.o and hiddev.o is wrong:

drivers/usb/hiddev.c:573 hiddev_connect() is called by
drivers/usb/hid-core.c:1225 hid_probe() before
drivers/usb/hiddev.c:665 hiddev_init() is called.

This results in hiddev_devfs_handle being NULL for each hid-device handled
by hiddev, so that all device-nodes are created as /dev/hiddev%d instead
of /dev/usb/hid/hiddev%d.

BYtE
Philipp

And here goes the fix. It also fixes a problem with devices with HID
type interface with no endpoints. Alan, Linus, please apply it.
