I guess you create and remove devices in the kernel device tree, which represent the hotplugged devices connected to your controller. These devices will send uevents on their own, there is usually no need to send any events with the driver. Just run "udevadm monitor" while you connect/diconnect any device, and you will see hotplugged devices coming and going depending on the bus they live on.
