Yup.

I don't have any plan on making data from NUT available in DK-p -- to
be honest, I think a lot of the driver quirks can be done in kernel
space rather than userspace, and have userspace just use the simple
hiddev device.

I still don't think putting the hid parsing in userspace is a good idea.
