Each driver will invoke the driver loaded device method, so this will 
race aswell!

You have a point. But, that means devmatch should read ahead the nomatch 
events until the end, to make sure the correct driver is loaded.

For example if first a driver is loaded for a generic device, uhid, then 
comes a long a ums device, we have a problem this way.

Matching should then understand how to reduce the hints, maybe by 
stripping down the "mask" from least significant bit.

It is then important that the order from devmatch is not messed up by 
"sort -u".

BTW: The "sort" utility lives in usr/bin and is not suitable for 
/etc/rc.d/devmatch, like already pointed out.
