This one is much better. It's working on both the old 3.1 firmware and the
new 4.8 firmware for the Xbox One S controller.

Just for fun I also decided to test this against my other Xbox One gamepads:
- idVendor=045e, idProduct=02ea, bcdDevice= 3.01
- idVendor=045e, idProduct=02ea, bcdDevice= 4.08
- idVendor=045e, idProduct=02dd, bcdDevice= 2.03
- idVendor=24c6, idProduct=543a, bcdDevice= 1.01

Initialization was successful on all 4 tested gamepads, so this packet looks
well-tolerated across the range of devices.

I think we should also mark this for stable to get this backported to older
kernels, otherwise input will break as users update their firmware. Since you
mentioned you are new to LKML, you can read about stable updates here [0]
and include the Cc tag on v2 of this patch with my suggested changes below
if you agree.

The sequence numbers are populated when the driver sends the init packet, so
you should go ahead and replace that 0x02 with 0x00 to match the other packets.

Can you also add an entry here for the Xbox One Elite Series 2 (0x045e, 0x0b00)
gamepad? According to [1], it has the same problem as the Xbox One S with the
4.8 firmware when exiting Bluetooth mode.
