Could I ask you what precisely is the driver you are talking about doing? Why is it not going to be a part of mainline kernel (i.e. being able to be put on blacklist easily). > It should work with usual kernel and HID driver.

Sure, there are such in-kernel drivers ... for example Wacom driver. This driver is in-kernel, and it is hooked inside the usb_hid_configure() function to be ignored by the HID layer completely, and all the driver specific handling is handled in drivers/usb/input/wacom*. (When looking at that code, it looks quite ugly by the way. I have no idea why wacom driver is not using HID_QUIRK_IGNORE, but has a hardcoded hook in the usb_hid_configure() instead. I will probably fix this.)
