Regarding the USB. This is a comment from Andrew's patch:

// doesn't work. gets sent as a SET_REPORT Request intstead of a
// URB_INTERRUPT out. I guess usbhid->urbout is null
//if ( hdev->hid_output_raw_report(hdev, buf2, sizeof(buf2),

I took his word for it, and did not attempt it. Do you think it would
work with the current kernel? If so, I can test later. Had quite an
enjoyable evening playing some FF7 once I had the controller working ;)

Antonio, others, can you test with official Sony controllers that the
current patch did not break them? I only have the Gasia.

Sure, will edit the error messages.
