Actually there is a different solution:

# stop handling the device identified by VID and PID
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="drivers", \
        ENV{DEVPATH}=="/bus/usb-serial/drivers/usbhid", \
        ATTR{remove_id}="xxxx yyyy"

# if no driver has claimed the interface yet, load your_driver
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_interface", \
        ATTRS{idVendor}=="xxxx", ATTRS{idProduct}=="yyyy", \
        DRIVER=="", \
        RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -b your_driver"

Or just:

echo 'xxxx yyyy' > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid/remove_id
modprobe your_driver
