From: Roderick Colenbrander <roderick.colenbrander@xxxxxxxx> Hi, This is a revised version of a patch set, which was originally meant to prevent devices ds3/ds4 motion sensors to get picked up by joydev. Originally we added a filter based on INPUT_PROP_ACCELEROMETER, but in review it was felt not to be narrow enough. It was suggested to only limit in case of composite devices, which led to a revised series. The v2 series added a new property INPUT_PROP_COMPOSITE based on the feedback, but the discussion led to the ability to enumerate composite devices (a very useful use case) e.g. by means of an ioctl. Tackling the composite device problem is an interesting problem, but needs a bit of thought. For ds3/ds4 in particular, we have reports (even on reddit) of various users having problems with joydev picking up the device, so ideally for 4.14 (and maybe even 4.13) we need some solution as it will be used in the next wave of distributions. For v3, we are going back to the basics. Instead as Bastien suggested we are adding a flag INPUT_PROP_JOYDEV_IGNORE, which devices can use to get blacklist from joydev. We think such a flag is helpful as the heuristics in joydev are generic and in some exceptional cases it is tricky to find a generic way to narrow devices down. In addition as requested by Bastien we are also setting the ignore flag for the udraw-ps3 driver.
