I think you forgot to consider the case where both the driver and the
mode switch code need an update to handle a new device. This is relevant
in the case where a new device shows up that needs mode-switching, but
even after switching has an ID that the current driver doesn't know
about.

It's not clear to me which case typically happens though. I suppose that
often enough it'd be possible to have a device that shows up with a
special driver USB ID, and then after you eject it comes up again with a
regular USB ID that other devices use too.

Input from people who have such switching devices could be helpful.
