You can do the controol transfers from userspace - use usbfs or perhaps 
libusb. I'd probably remove the module to simplify the test scenario.

It seems unlikely that you will do any damage to that kind of device, but the 
device firmware may crash, and require a replug cycle. If there is some kind 
of firmware download capability in the device you might cause permanent 
damage.
