Can someone confirm that that only way to avoid having the hid USB driver
bind to a device in preference to a custom driver based on vendor/product
is to add the vendor/product to the hid blacklist in hid-core?

It looks like usb_match_id will at least for 2.4 will just fine the first
match, which makes things a bit random, and probably depends which order
in which the probe functions were registered, which depends on a whole
host of factors. In a modular kernel, if modules are not yet loaded,
usbmodules are likely to nominate that hid is loaded before the custom
driver.

Does this differ over 2.4/2.5/2.6 kernels?
