These patches are a resubmit of previous patches rebased against 4.11
with minor improvemnts and additional patches improving other areas for
dualshock 3 / 4 support.
The original series wasn't merged for 4.11, which was likely because
discussions on motion sensor handling took a while to complete.
The first set of patches (1-8) are for DS4 / dongle:
- Add proper support for the motion sensors including calibration.
- Remove fixup for DS4 BT HID descriptors was removed. As described in more
detail in the patch, it felt it was best to remove it as it is causing
issues for various cross platform libraries and applications.
- Dongle is handled as a separate device as in terms of behavior it is
in between a USB and BT DS4.
- Hotplug improvements were added for the dongle device including delayed
calibration.
- The touchpad is now marked as a pointer device, before it wasn't anything.
The next patches (9-11) improve dualshock 3 support:
- The axes/button mapping has been suboptimal for a long time with axes
even leaking into the ABS_MT range due to large amount of analog buttons.
The ds3 now complies to the Linux gamepad spec and support for the analog
buttons was dropped as there is no good way of expressing them, digital
button state is preserved. We provided patches to SDL2, which is the main
library through which users typically use game controllers.
- Motion sensors are now reported through a separate device similar to what
was done for the dualshock 4 earlier.
The last patch moves the duplicate game controller check to an earlier
point, preventing unneeded 'transient' devices.
Thanks,
Roderick
