The hid_tmff_new module won't load when secure boot is enabled.

I'm not exactly sure how kernel modules work: Is it correct that you can prevent this by following the optional signing step you described with the manual installation procedure?

Yep, secure boot essentially disables loading untrusted modules. To make a module trusted, you have to sign it.

Thanks a bunch.

Signing the module was pretty straight forward with DKMS using this gist. The module is now working as intended!
