No, this is even worse! Please, use libusb.c/libhid.c interface. It has
significant advantages. It is simplier. It supports much more flexible
device claiming: you can create your own "matchers" or use existing and
combine them into chains. You should give more control to the user in the
future by exporting some driver variables and using "regex" matcher. This
will allow users to test your driver on their devices without recompilation.
So please don't use nut_usb.c. Use libusb.c/libhid.c instead.

Please take a look at this post explaining device matching in USB drivers:
