[PATCH] HID: Sony: Add support for Gasia controllers

From: Martyn Welch
Date: Sun Jan 26 2020 - 15:28:37 EST


There seems to be a number of subtly different firmwares for the
Playstation controllers made by "Gasia Co.,Ltd". Whilst such controllers
are easily detectable when attached via USB that is not always the case
via Bluetooth. Some controllers are named "PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller"
where as the official Sony controllers are named
"Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller", however some versions of firmware use
the exact name used by the official controllers. The only way I've been
able to distinguish these versions of the controller (when connected via
Bluetooth) is that the Bluetooth Class of Device incorrectly reports the
controller as a keyboard rather than a gamepad. I've so far failed to work
out how to access this information from a HID driver.

The Gasia controllers need output reports to be configured in the same way
as the Shanwan controllers. In order to ensure both types of Gasia firmware
will work, this patch adds a quirk for those devices it can detect and
reworks `sixaxis_send_output_report()` to attempt `hid_hw_output_report()`
should `hid_hw_raw_request()` be known to be the wrong option (as is the
case with the Shanwan controllers) or fails.

This has got all the controllers I have working, with the slight
anoyance that the Gasia controllers that don't currently get marked with
a quirk require the call to `hid_hw_raw_request()` to fail before the
controller finishes initialising (which adds a significant extra delay
before the controller is ready).

This patch is based on the following patch by Conn O'Griofa:
