Enable Usb Gadget HID Device

Would it be possible to add in the g_hid usb gadget kernel module as well as patch in hid descriptors to allow the phone and tablet to present themselves to a USB Host device as a keyboard and mouse?

This would allow using the phone/tablet as a USB Input device for a PC or laptop as a wacom type tablet device, or using a VKB app as a touchscreen keyboard.

Another idea I had was using the phone as a password manager, with automatically typing in passwords over usb as a HID device.
