It seems that some combination of "nut", "ups", "usb", and "hid" is
needed. The name should also be reasonably short and pronouncable.

How about "nuthid"? I personally would prefer the name to contain
"USB", because "HID" is a technical term from the USB specification
that does not mean anything to users. But I understand the need to
indicate somehow that the driver does not work for all USB devices.
Your "usbhid-ups" also achieves this goal, as does "nut-hidusb" or
"nut_generic_usb" etc. A conservative choice would be to rename
"newhidups" as "nuthidups".

Last time I checked this, it worked fine.

Sure, why not?

I would keep the current files in any case. In the future, one can add
a scripts/hotplug-ng directory, if the need arises (and somebody is
willing to contribute the scripts).
