You are right, now I have it done without negations, but by playing with
"Ignore" "on" / "off", because I need to disable devices with already assigned
drivers.

OK, I understand Your decision. What about a minimalist version I just sent to
the list? Only regexes, but with char** changed to list of patterns, which allows
to keep matching mode together with pattern strings. It seems to be in line with
the latest changes in InputClass.c (nt_list_*...). No visible changes for users
in the first patch at all.
