I thought at the maintainer summit we discussed that it shouldn't be
treated as uapi. There is no need to draw this line right now.
If the whole concept turns out to be useful and api is stable
then promote it.

Not sure what is the purpose of this uapi file.
Since it's enum the progs can get it from vmlinux.h.

This is a copy of include/uapi/linux/hid.h ?
Probably should be a separate commit to make it obvious.
