David Herrmann 19872d20c8 HID: uhid: allocate static minor 
udev has this nice feature of creating "dead" /dev/<node> device-nodes if
it finds a devnode:<node> modalias. Once the node is accessed, the kernel
automatically loads the module that provides the node. However, this
requires udev to know the major:minor code to use for the node. This
feature was introduced by:

  commit 578454ff7e
  Author: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>
  Date:   Thu May 20 18:07:20 2010 +0200

      driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loading

However, uhid uses dynamic minor numbers so this doesn't actually work. We
need to load uhid to know which minor it's going to use.

Hence, allocate a static minor (just like uinput does) and we're good
to go.
