You mean the first driver binds to the device already, right? But you want the later one to be used? Any driver that binds to a device will prevent any other later loaded driver from binding to, or handling the device. The only way to have the second driver seeing the device is unbinding the first driver in sysfs, and binding the second one in sysfs.
