Sorry if I came out too aggresive (I'll amend), I'm just annoyed that I
had to spend a weekend night digging through this crap because my fiancee
came crying to me that her gamepad stopped working after a kernel update.

We don't actually know that it's a new generation of hardware without a
new PID and I really doubt manufacturers are *that* stupid, they should
at least have increased the device revision number, but... China.

Thanks, I'll try to add an input mapping in the driver. However if
indeed there are different hardware with the same PID and this "fix" is
for another issue than the one I'm having then I'd really rather not
revert this if possible to not break other people's hardware. But I also
can't keep it because it breaks my hardware.
Does anyone have any suggestions what to do in this case?

Thanks, this was a slip-up on my part.

I'm not assigning blame because it's counterproductive. Of course, I
agree if we are to find a scapegoat it's the crappy manufacturers
because they make the crappy hardware with crappy or no Linux support
(btw I am in no way affiliated with dragonrise or any other vendor).
The only thing that annoys me is that this known hid-input kernel
regression has been ignored for all this time, leaving users like me
dead in the watter with a broken driver upon kernel update.
