See 'man 8 newhidups':

  "With this option, the driver will connect to any device, including
   ones that are not yet supported. This must always be combined with the
   "vendorid" option. In this mode, the driver will not do anything
   useful except for printing debugging information (typically used with
   -DD)."

Yes.
