While I'm not against adding libraries to the mingw64 toolchains -- in
fact, I have a number of them in Ports -- is that really your intention?
Would this library be usable from within Cygwin?

This is wrong; VERSION must at least start with a numerical component.

IMO cross-compiler libraries should go into Devel, but I suppose that's
debatable.

This should be more specific, particularly if you are intending it to be
used with the mingw64 toolchain.

0.8.0-rc1 is the latest tag ("release") in git, so if you want that:
VERSION=0.8.0-rc1
...
SRC_URI="https://github.com/signal11/hidapi/archive/hidapi-${VERSION}/hidapi-hidapi-${VERSION}.tar.gz
SRC_DIR="hidapi-hidapi-${VERSION}"
However, there have been several changes in git since then, so you may
want to include the Windows-relevant ones by adding:
