[PATCH v2] HID: logitech-dj: issue udev change event on device connection

[Filipe LaÃns]

As discussed in the mailing list:

> Right now the hid-logitech-dj driver will export one node for each
> connected device, even when the device is not connected. That causes
> some trouble because in userspace we don't have have any way to know if
> the device is connected or not, so when we try to communicate, if the
> device is disconnected it will fail.

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.
