Description

According to the examples for HID miniport drivers. It should be possible to implement HID miniport drivers with UMDF builds.

Example here: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/main/hid/vhidmini2

This requires types from hidport.h that has been marked as only available in kernel mode drivers here: https://github.com/microsoft/windows-drivers-rs/blob/b82b4278f7085cfb0165d7cc6ffd6e0ccaad41ff/crates/wdk-build/src/lib.rs#L753

That limitation should likely be lifted for generation of bindgen headers.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the build configuration in wdk build/lib.rs line 753 and modify the condition to allow UMDF builds to include hidport.h headers.
