Description
Feature Overview
There are a few Rust drivers in the mu_plus repo, primarily UefiHidDxe, UefiHidDxev2 and their dependencies, that were written pre-Patina components and as such do not fit the model Patina expects to execute drivers.
Solution Overview
These should be ported to Patina components, while leaving the existing drivers in mu_plus because platforms did ship with them; however, these original drivers should be marked as deprecated. Users of Patina should consume the new components.
