I may clear now, thanks.

So, you mean your device has no interface descriptor, so you can't
create a USB interface driver, and have to create non-generic device
driver for it. I see there is __check_usb_generic function at generic.c
to check if it could use generic driver or not, you may add some
condition (eg, no interface descriptor) to avoid using generic driver
Is it feasible?
