Subject: [PATCH v2] xpad: Overhaul device data for wireless devices
Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2026 21:39:27 +1300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260404083928.489966-3-sanjay.govind9@gmail.com> (raw)
Xbox 360 wireless controllers expose information in the link and
capabilities reports.
Extract and use the vendor id for wireless controllers, and use
the subtype to build a nicer device name and product id.
Some xbox 360 controllers put a vid and pid into the stick capability
data, so check if this was done, and pull the vid, pid and revision from
there.
