I am working on to load\unload the KEXT dynamically from my

Why not either:
a) Not use a kext at all. Does your device really need a kernel-mode
driver if it's only ever connected to your application? The whole
point behind having a driver for a USB device in the first place is
to present a standardised interface to arbitrary applications. If
you only ever talk to the device with one application, it doesn't
sound like you need a driver at all; you could simply use the generic
USB UserClient.
b) Allow the driver to be loaded automatically by the system once
your software is installed. If you install the kext correctly, it
will be automatically loaded every time your device is connected.
