HID report descriptors always confuse me. I think the patch is
certainly an improvement, although I have some doubts how robust the
whole "firstu" thing is. While it makes a lot of sense for a
descriptor to have its contact level usages in the same order for each
contact, I don't think the HID specification requires this to be the
case. But let's don't worry about this for now.
So I think the diff is ok, but the use of the term "top-level"
confuses me a bit as the spec talks about top-level *collections* but
not top-level usages. Elsewhere in the code the terms "contact level
usages" and "report level usages". And the latter is what you mean
with "top-level". So I think it is better if you use
IS_REPORT_LEVEL_USAGE() as the name for the macro.
