Calling write_trust() before adapter_get_device() fixes the prompt on
the first association, AFAICS adapter_get_device() reads the trust file.

With regard to that, I'd like to see some USB dumps of a Sixaxis
talking with GameOS to check if the PS3 can turn off BT on the
controller explicitly, can anyone help here? (Pascal? Do you have
access to a USB analyzer?):

The scenarios I am interested in are:
 1. Connect a non-paired Sixaxis to the PS3 via USB
 2. Connect an already paired Sixaxis to the PS3 via USB
 3. Connect a Sixaxis already associated via BT to a PS3 via USB

Another TODO item: avoid setting the led before the controller sends
input events (this is the GameOS behavior as well): I am planning to add
a blocking read() in order to wait for the user to press the PS button
before setting the led, I'll emphasize that in the next review round.

It is exported in the input report.

I don't have the hardware so I never searched to see what the
differences with the Sixaxis are.
