HID: sensor: Custom and Generic sensor support

HID Sensor Spec defines two usage ids for custom sensors

	HID_USAGE_SENSOR_TYPE_OTHER_CUSTOM (0x09, 0xE1)
	HID_USAGE_SENSOR_TYPE_OTHER_GENERIC(0x09, 0xE2)

	In addition the standard also defines usage ids for custom fields.
The purpose of these sensors is to extend the functionality or provide a way to
obfuscate the data being communicated by a sensor. Without knowing the mapping
between the data and its encapsulated form, it is difficult for an driver to
determine what data is being communicated by the sensor.  This allows some
differentiating use cases, where vendor can provide applications.  Since these
can't be represented by standard sensor interfaces like IIO, we present these
as fields with

- type (input/output)
- units
- min/max
- get/set value

In addition an dev interface to transfer report events. Details about this
interface is described in /Documentation/hid/hid-sensor.txt.  Manufacturers
should not use these ids for any standard sensors, otherwise the the
product/vendor id can be added to black list.

HID Sensor hub specification allows definition of some custom and
generic sensors. Unlike other HID sensors, they can't be exported
via Linux IIO because of custom fields. This is up to the manufacturer
to decide how to interpret these special sensor ids and process in
the user space. Currently some manufacturers are using these ids for
sensor calibration and debugging other sensors. Manufacturers
should't use these special custom sensor ids to export any of the
standard sensors.
