Basically just add a Signed-off-by: line(s) to the patch, denoting you or 
other people, who sign this patch as their work.

Please see Documentation/SubmittingPatches for further information 
("chapter" 11 deals with signing patches).

Sorry, I don't seem to understand you well. Most keyboards, for example, 
are also "Generic Desktop" (i.e. their report descriptor starts with bytes

hid-input.
