When people doing kernel work write: "Hot plugging does not work" they also mean that "Hot un-plugging" does not work either.
In the sequence you posted above, you manually enabled the inserted device and manually disabled the inserted device.
"Hot Plug" in Linux means insert additional system hardware.
Some operating systems call this: "Plug and Play".
(and "Hot un-Plug" == "un-Play and un-Plug" but I don't think that other OS ever uses that phrase.)
In Linux, the two go hand-in-hand, only by programming error can you have one without the other.
There is also a "cold plug" system, which is rarely written of these days, since the "hot plug" system has been extended to do both 'hot and cold' plugging.
You can leave that one in the hands of the hot plug code author.
It is really a " Don't need to know " topic.
