This is useful when you want to handle the device entirely from BPF
without exposing the automatic input nodes.

This is useful in case we want to have a third party program that directly
talks to the hidraw node and we don't want regular input events to be
emitted. This third party program can load a BPF program that instructs
hid-generic to rebind on the device with hidraw only and then open the
hidraw node itself.

When the application is closed, the BPF program is unloaded and the normal
driver takes back the control of the device.
