Well, so point me to a binary of this, please.

Because it doesn't work otherwise.

No, because the hid-generic driver has no way to check that the probe
function of your driver fails for this particular device.  The probing
of hid-generic will fail so long as the device matches the device ID
list of any specific HID driver.  With patch [1/2] from this series
applied this is unless that specific driver has a ->match() callback
rejecting the given device.

You'd need a list of drivers that have been tried and failed somewhere
for that and AFAICS no such list is present in the code.

So a minimum fix for 6.1 that actually works for me is to add the
non-working device to the blocklist.  More sophisticated stuff can be
done later.
