Hello,

I have a USB HID joystick (professional grade rudder pedals) which
are not properly recognized as joystick. Event device is created,
but no /dev/input/jsX device node file. Other USB joysticks are
recognized and proper node files are created, so I suppose this
is a kernel issue. If not, could you point me to right direction?


Here's all info i could dig out of the device. Tested on kernel
4.4.0-22-generic on Ubuntu 16.04. The pedals output sane events
when testing with evtest, but are not found by applications as
the jsX file is missing.
