And make sure that the udev event will return as fast as it can and not
block with the external program. It may cause problems for other events,
which wait for this event to come back.

No, escaping will not work, you need an external script.  And PHYSDEVDRIVER
is not a key, udev will recognize, it is just ignored, you probably want
ENV{PHYSDEVDRIVER}=.
