Hi David,

this is rather difficult to get by quickly looking at the code, so I'd 
like to have a slightly better overview of what the device really is.

Is it talking HID protocol on the SMBus? (if so, there is a hid-i2c 
transport driver for it already).
But I guess this is not really the case, as you seem to be using the USB 
HID functionality as well.

Thanks in advance for some more background.
