There are several possibilities:

- your application can unbind the HID drvier from the device via 'unbind' 
  file in sysfs

- you can use hiddev (or preferably the new 'hidraw' interface), which 
  allow your application to send custom messages to the device, if this is 
  feasible for you

- the quirk could be added into the usbhid quirk list, so that it ignores 
  the device (this is what has been currently done for the device in 
  question)

libusb developers ]
