So we need to do something similar as you suggested. Those patches aren't meant for your product line (mor for 3.8). But hid-sensor-hub currently (as in 3.7-rc) doesn't load the necessary modules at all, only hid-sensor-hub is currently loaded automatically, not the other modules. That is at least what I've experienced here.
