Presumably you could do the same thing on the kernel side when your driver is loaded. This would give better functionality, in that the usbhid driver would handle basic functionality if your driver isn't loaded, but as soon as your driver was loaded the extra functionality would become available. Of course this bypasses usbhid's functionality. I imagine it would be better to write a hid driver and let usbhid handle the USB side of things. Have a look in drivers/hid/ for some hid driver examples that do this.
