Commit 79346d620e9d ("HID: input: force generic axis to be mapped to their
user space axis") made mapping generic axes to their userspace equivalents
mandatory and some lower end gamepads which were depending on the previous
behaviour suffered severe regressions because they were reusing axes and
expecting hid-input to multiplex their map to the respective userspace axis
by always searching for and using the next available axis.
Now the result is that different device axes appear on a single axis in
userspace, which is clearly a regression in the hid-input driver because it
needs to continue to handle this hardware as expected before the forcing
to provide the same interface to userspace.
Since these lower-end gamepads like 0079:0006 are definitely the exception,
create a quirk to fix them.
