Is there any "full" support for a Sony DualShock 4 in the bluez/kernel

CC-ing Frank as he is the author of the DS4 hid kernel driver.
The one I own works perfectly when using USB cable.
When using bluetooth it gets recognized as a somewhat generic
Bluetooth Wireless Controller. Pairing it up with my system seems to
work as it creates a joystick device (/dev/input/js0) but when testing
it with jstest, only the touchpad on the DS4 triggers two of the
axis. None of the buttons or sticks reacts in jstest.
Pairing it with the usual bluetoothctl makes the DS4 LED dimmed blue
light.
I know of the ds4drv project and have used it to connect my DS4, but
it seems a big buggy and I was hoping it was or will be merged into
bluez/kernel, making it superfluous.
Using the DS4 makes the LED brighter than using ordinary bluetoothctl,
perhaps because ds4drv knows how to intruct the LED.
Even if my DS4 is almost next to my bluetooth radio device, the ds4drv
reports "Signal strength low (29/40/38) reports"
Testing with jstest seems to trigger all buttons and axises. The
touchpad itself as a button triggers, but touching the pad doesnt trigger
anything.
In some games the digital keys on the left doesnt get recognized, even
if they get triggered by jstest and other programs like Steam
recognizes them.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
What kernel version are you using and how new the controller? This sounds
like a bug others were having due to Sony making a change to the HID
descriptor in the controller firmware. It’s been fixed in newer kernels, but it
will take time for the fix to make it’s way to most distros.
uname -a:
Linux mkjlap 4.3.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.3.3-2 (2015-12-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux
DS4 is bought recently withing this month (dec,2015). The boxes for
the controller are thrown out. The model is: CUH-ZCT1E if that is of
any help.
The patch is here if you are interested:

Great. I'll try it.

Frank
