Hi,

hiddev devices are not created automatically for all devices. It's done 
only for devices that have non-input applications, or for those devices 
which have explicit HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV flag set. Please see 
hiddev_connect(), there this logic is implemented.

You can set HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV for the particular vendor/product combination 
even without recompiling the kernel -- it is no possible to pass 'quirks' 
option to the usbhid module.
