What type of device is this?

The kernel should do it "all for you" already, why do you need to create
a custom HID driver for this device?

What type of HID reports does the device export and why doesn't the
existing kernel drivers work for you?

HID has the idea of "reports" and data comes in and out in that specific
format, all depending on how the device describes itself.  There's isn't
usually a normal "send/receive" type of thing, but it all depends on the
type of device.

Does this all work?

What fails?
