Proper support for Saitek X36F joystick

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

This is from 4.19, but I doubt this changed recently.

Saitek X36F+X35T combination is detected like this... in short one
hat, no switches, and lot of buttons.

In reality, combination has 4 four-way switches (hats?), 2 slider
switches (three positions) and lot less buttons. Sliders and 3 of 4
hats are detected as groups of buttons. Last hat is strange, I can't
see anything that corresponds to it on evtest, and as long as it is
pushed in any direction, all the other events stop. (It is also one
I'd like to use).

What needs to be done to get more useful mapping for userspace?

Is there any easy way to debug the hat that breaks everything?

Best regards,
								Pavel
