Is there anyway to detect that the device can not support the current

Sadly, no, otherwise I would have used that already :(


Also, the change that my patch makes is in the "dialect" of the wire protocol. This seemingly changes zero in the original Sony device's behaviour, both from what my tests have shown, and from what I gather from Roderick's emails. HID traces on the web confirm that the PS4 may output such or similar reports as well. Hence I don't understand why we would want to make a distinction at all, if the driver can simply only speak the "dialect" that works on most devices.
