I just figure your comment out: the change does not seem to have
anything to do with hotplugging. .usage_table is used to decide which
HID reports to forwards to the .event() callback, and NULL means all
events. So even if it was in use, there are no functional changes.

Thanks to the changes to remove the vendor id and product id, you
shouldn't have to manually modprobe the driver as the hid-core
subsystem will tag the hid device as a sensor one, meaning that udev
will modprobe the driver if it's not already loaded.
So if you still have to manually modprobe your driver (or maybe you
are talking about the mfd driver), there is a bug in the detection of
sensors devices. And this has to be fixed :)

Cheers,
Benjamin
