[PATCH] [RFC] xpad - support for Microsoft XBox controllers

Hi,

recently I have been looking into bugreports against xpad driver - the 
complaints were that for some devices (I am aware of at least 
0x045e/0x028e and 0x0738/0x4716), the driver doesn't work at all even if 
the device ids are added into xpad_device[] array. In fact the driver 
doesn't even get bound to the device.

This is caused by the fact that at least these controllers claim to be of 
a vendor-specific class (0xff), and therefore the 

	{ USB_INTERFACE_INFO('X', 'B', 0) }

in module device table doesn't match them. There is a out-of-tree fork of 
the driver at [1] which adds (among other things)

	{ USB_INTERFACE_INFO( 255 ,  93 , 1) }, /* Xbox 360 */

to the module device table. But that also does not going work, as 
USB_INTERFACE_INFO for vendor-specific class is not going to be matched by 
usb_match_one_id().

The cleanest solution seems to be to specify particular devices properly 
by USB_DEVICE macros in module device table for those xpad devices which 
have nonstandard and vendor-specific class/subclass. Below is a patch that 
makes 0x045e/0x028e and 0x0738/0x4716 work with xpad driver (or at least 
correctly bound to the device). (this is obviously not yet suitable for 
being merged - I am not sure yet whether MAP_DPAD_TO_AXES is the correct 
one for this device, etc).

We could need to do this for all devices which are currently present in 
xpad_device[] and have 0xff as their USB class. I however currently have 
no idea for which devices from xpad_device[] is this the case. Does anyone 
have any details please? Thanks.
