I wasn't Cc-ed on the cover letter (0/3) if any, but there are a few
things to improve here (not code wise, I haven't reviewed the series,
but on the form).

Every commit needs a commit message. And here, this particular commit
just disables 2 device IDs from HID, which, without explanation seems
like you decided to remove support for 2 keyboards from the kernel. So
please add commit messages explaining *why* you are introducing a new
driver/change in the code.

Then, it would be much better to have a single commit that disables
the HID support and add the hwmon driver in one go. Leave the
synchronisation between the trees to the maintainers, and keep it
simple: you can squash your 3 commits together, so it's one semantic
action. This way, if there is a need to bisect or revert this patch,
we won't have side effects and can revert just one patch. Think also
that if someone needs that to be backported in a stable or a
distribution kernel, it would make everyone's life simpler.

That being said, if you squash the 3 patches and provide a good enough
explanation on the series, from a HID point of view, there should not
be any reasons for us to not give an Ack.

Cheers,
Benjamin
