Our HID driver just are some logical drivers, they are not attach some
physical devices directly. However, The HID core may include more than
one physical bus devices, I think HID drivers only take care of these
devices at one physical bus. So, compare here can avoid call 
hid_drv->match() across bus.

Yes, this may have a bit of hack, but this make hid_drv->probe() more
easier. And, as you seen, the hid_drv_probe() will check the actual
probe process is whether OK. If not so, the hid_drv_probe() will clean
this member.

Er, if not so, we will get some dump stack information in dmesg when
remove this module ......

I agree, this is another TODO.

I also want to who changed them! ~_~

May be, I really do not want to increase interrupt disabling time in our
action.

Yes, I agree! Also, there have another code access hid_transports[]
without spin it!
