I am a bit unclear as to which devices this applies to, but I see two
possible solutions:

1) Add the devices in question back to the have_special_drivers list.

2) Add the interface type to the group descision, which should
probably be done anyway. I have a patch in the pipe that, will send it
later today.

It would be great if you could test soution 1) before on a device -
something seems wrong if those interfaces were handled by hid-generic
before, but before getting the logic straight, it does not hurt to
try. :-)
