HID: we do not randomly make new drivers 'default y'
.. even when that "default y" is hidden syntactically as a default !EXPERT it's wrong. The only reason something should be 'default y' is if it used to be built-in, and it was made configurable, and the 'default y' is just retaining the status quo. Altheratively, the hardware for the driver has become _so_ common that it really makes sense for everybody to build it. Finally, one possible reason for 'default y' is because the option is not enabling any new code at all, but is just enabling other options (the networking people do this for vendor options, for example, so that you can disable whole vendors at a time). Clearly, none of these cases hold for the BigBen Interactive Kids' gamepad, and HID_BIGBEN_FF should thus most definitely not default to on for everybody.
