Yes, defaulting to joystick was the way it was when I wrote hid-lgff.c, and
I guess Valentin made his original patch on a kernel where defaulting was

I'll send a separate mail with the patch adding the devices there too, but I
personally think defaulting was nice. Was there a reason behind the removal?
