On second thought, maybe we can sidestep this discussion entirely by
using a new Kconfig to have both states configurable.
Something like:
CONFIG_HID_PLAYSTATION_V6_6_ANDROID_TEST_COMPAT
Improvements such as my patch would be turned off when this flag is
enabled, and the driver behaviour reverted to the v6.6 LTS behaviour. So
Android kernels would enable it, and everyone else (especially desktop
distributions) can leave it off.
Then, once the Android test suite is fixed, the Kconfig can be removed.
Looking at the Android release cadence in recent years, and the timeline
of DS4 support in hid-playstation and in the v6.6 LTS kernel, I presume
this would be in 1-2 years.
This way, upstream can continue improving the driver, without triggering
Android test failures.
How does this sound?
