Since https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/commit/4fdcfcca3e1ad2aec13f014a7a0bc3ece49725ba the `hid-generic` is a module now. The module is needed for a LUKS unlock with a FIDO token during boot, but when the token is not plugged in, the module is not pulled into initramfs during rebuild. `dracut` works around this by unconditionally pulling the module into initramfs, so `mkinitcpio` may do the same. This was discussed with @foxboron over IRC. See also: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/mkinitcpio/-/issues/5
