You got it working, but this information might still be interesting
in case of future problems:

The Android "driver" is very different from the one I wrote from
scratch and upstreamed. The mainline driver is less lines of code
(iirc 25%), less complicated (Android vibration support is spread
over multiple drivers/arch code), more efficient (Android drivers
does GPIO bitbanging instead of PWM) and provides more features
(Android driver does not allow all strength settings). Also it uses
normal input device API instead of a custom one.

P.S.: Sorry, I don't have much time to work on D4 at the moment :(
