This is due to bluetoothd rejects connections from unknown input devices.
Since DS3 tries to connect before we are able to query its SDP, connection is
rejected. There is a hole punched for that to delay reject/accept until SDP
is done. Check dev_is_sixaxis() in profiles/input/server.c. If you added
additional pid/vid to sixaxis plugin you probably need to add it to
dev_is_sixaxis() as well.

That shouldn't be a problem as long as device is connecting using address
it advertised over USB. (There were reports on IRC that some clones connect
with different address...)

If device is not trying to connect then maybe it requires different
configuration over USB to set master address, but that would probably require
some extra work to figure it out.
