That would be great, thanks!
Now that my distro upgraded to 4.16, without the hid-quirks array, I've been
testing it a bit more.
It works great, but I've noticed that I've missed a couple of lines when
creating the client hdev. It doesn't seem to cause any harm, and anyway 'type'
and 'country' are currently both 0 in my controller; only 'version' is visibly
different but who uses that?
Anyway, this would be the change, I don't know if it is worth a whole reroll...
