      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.
