Rename HID device

[benwa]

Currently, unless we recompile CircuitPython, we have to use "CircuitPython HID" for things like a game controller.
I'd like to be able to rename that, if at all possible.

I would love to see this functionality as well. If you have multiple CP USB-HID devices connected simultaneously, selecting a specific one from a list (i.e. choosing a controller in a game, or a specialized input device for an editing suite) involves a mini-game of "which 'CircuitPython HID' device is which". 😃

Something along the lines of usb_hid.enable(name="My Nifty Controller", ...) in boot.py would be lovely.

With CPv8 we now have supervisor.set_usb_identification() which is a step in a right direction.
Unfortunately "lsusb -v" still shows "CircuitPython HID" on iInterface attribute.

Any update on this

There are no immediate plans to implement this. If someone feels like working on a PR, that would be great.

I would also like to have this feature.
I actually spent some time and implemented it here #8989
