It's working for me.

I think you are looking in a wrong place.  Firmware interface is
completely separate from USB interface.  From the hotplug point of view,
firmware is requested by the kernel.  It's irrelevant that the caller is
a USB driver.

I think you should bring your system up to date with "yum -y upgrade",
and if the problem persists, talk to Fedora developers, perhaps via
bugzilla.
