Re: [PATCH] HID: steam: remove input device when a hid client is running.

Previously, when a HID client such as the Steam Client was running, this
driver disabled its input device to avoid doubling the input events.

While it worked mostly fine, some games got confused by the idle gamepad,
and switched to two player mode, or asked the user to choose which gamepad
to use. Other games just crashed, probably a bug in Unity [1].

With this commit, when a HID client starts, the input device is removed;
when the HID client ends the input device is recreated.

Hi Rodrigo,

Thanks a lot, this should indeed help a ton. Just the presence of an extra gamepad node can indeed cause applications to go completely different paths. Assuming it otherwise looks good, is there a chance this fix could be put back into the 4.18 branch?

Thanks,
 - Pierre-Loup
