No-one is at fault. Well, strictly speaking the DS4 is, as it has to
accept SET_REPORT and asynchronous OUTPUT_REPORTs, but it doesn't.
That's quite common. What we actually want is HIDP to provide to
functions, one to call SET_REPORT and one to do the async
OUTPUT_REPORT is currently does.

I implemented this some time ago here:
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~dvdhrm/linux/log/?h=hid

Maybe it's time to get that merged. But that hack here is ugly and not
the way to go.

Thanks
David
