Not a bad idea. When using the US_FL_IGNORE_DEVICE flag, that causes the
usb-storage driver to no load the device and allow another driver
properly load it? The reason I ask is because I previously had a
separate driver for the device, however there were priority issues
regarding which loaded first usb-storage or the separate driver.

Yes, that's what it's designed for. If usb-storage does come first, the US_FL_IGNORE_DEVICE flag causes it to return -ENODEV from probe, which causes the driver core to look for other candidate drivers to claim the device.
