There are several possibilities:
- your application can unbind the HID drvier from the device via 'unbind'
file in sysfs
That's effectively what I am doing via the libusb usb_detach_kernel_driver_np().
- 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
That's a possibility for the future, although it's been made more
difficult if the Huey has been added to the HID driver 'quirk' list.
- 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)
I'm gathering that this is in fact unnecessary (usb_detach_kernel_driver_np()
does seem to work - the report about it not working was in error), and is
undesirable if the possibility of switching to 'hidraw' is to be held open.
cheers,
