Hmm, not sure why your email do not reach the list, it does not require

You need the following commit from mainline:

39a7a88872df98f0c3c50fe278fd1a1f597afd95  - Input: xpad - add Covert
Forces edition of the Xbox One controller

There was a report that while it fixes the crash the controller is not
really working, so I'd like to hear about your results.

Thanks.
