I've dealt with a couple of troublesome devices (Powered by Linux USB
Gadget) and I'd say recompiling your kernel to switch drivers is not
that troublesome.

But the device I had just had a bad implementation. It
was a DAP and can be a mass storage device and an audio device, but when
in the audio mode, it start as mass storage device and switches right
after. The kernel did not like that. I could not use the ids because
it's the default Linux Foundation one.

I don't think an etc file can help with that. And sysctl would be kinda
troublesome too.
