There is the keyword 'failback', which can be set to IMMEDIATE, causing all paths to fail back to the original path once it comes back. And as you don't actually need to send any commands for facilitate the failover I doubt you'd need to develop your own hardware handler. The existing tweaks should be enough, I think.
