[PATCH] HID: logitech-dj: issue udev change event on device connection

From: Filipe LaÃns

As discussed in the mailing list:

The solution reached to solve this issue is to trigger an udev change
event when the device connects, this way userspace can just wait on
those connections instead of trying to ping the device.
