Subject: [PATCH] udev: match Bluetooth HID devices (fixes #10)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Configuring a Work Louder device over Bluetooth fails because every hidraw
rule matches on ATTRS{idVendor}, which walks up the device tree for a USB
parent carrying idVendor. A BLE (HID-over-GATT) device has no USB parent, so
those rules never match — the hidraw node stays root-only and node-hid gets
EACCES opening it.

Add rules that match the Bluetooth HID parent by kernel name instead:
bus 0005 = BUS_BLUETOOTH, with the VID in uppercase hex (0005:303A:*,
0005:574C:*), keeping the existing MODE/GROUP/uaccess form so both systemd
(uaccess) and non-systemd (group) setups get access.
