Hi Jiri,
Without hidraw driver, we get this:
<3>[ 210.131988] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0005: claimed by
neither input, hiddev nor hidraw
<3>[ 210.132202] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0005:
logi_dj_probe:hid_hw_start returned error
In logi_dj_probe, we call hid_hw_start with HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT
argument and if hidraw driver is not present, the call fails and we
return an error in logi_dj_probe.

As of today, hid-logitech-dj.c depends on hidraw API to work. All HID
reports sent to control / configure the receiver are sent using hidraw
API. That's why we fail logi_dj_probe if we cannot connect to hidraw.
Best regards,
Olivier
