It is a driver for a PIC microcontroller board. I was using usbhid but
there was a bug that I couldn't work around. So I am bundling a custom
kernel module. I need to blacklist that device from usbhid otherwise it
tries to control the device.

I haven't thought of this. How does this work in the case when usbhid
already has the device in its device ID table.

Thanks for your help.
