There already is a uevent by default when closing a device upon connect
of the device. However, the same isn't true on disconnect.

This makes it hard for userspace to keep track of whether a device is
connected, since we are notified when the connection is created, but not
when it is removed again.

Explicitly issue a "change" uevent to remedy.
