Yes, the usb_hid driver should be the only place where USB HID devices
are handled. So a joystick driver should be implemented as a
JoystickDevice in usb_hid.

If it is the case that BJoystick is the only way to access a joystick
then we are pretty much free to rethink that in Haiku. We could use the
input_server to do joysticks and simply make BJoystick communicate with
the input_server. I remember seeing a discussion about exactly that
topic, but can't remember where. It would IMO make the most sense if it
was built like this. But as I do not know the internals on that I
cannot help you to decide that. It might make no sense for the
input_server to handle joyticks, I really wouldn't know.
