This is the first half of a patch series improving the hid-steam driver.

This series contains a few notable changes:
- As I've been maintaining it downstream in SteamOS as well as writing
  general improvements, I'm marking myself as the maintainer of the driver.
- Renames some stuff, notably marking the original Steam Controller as
  Steam Controller (2015) in preparation of adding support for the Steam
  Controller (2026), which will be in the second half of this series once
  it's ready for submission.
- Adds IMU support for the Steam Controller (2015).
- Some reliability improvements, especially surrounding edge cases
  regarding scheduled work during teardown.
- Fixes a short read issue reported by syzkaller.

Hopefully the second half of the series will be ready soon, but I am
waiting on more testing by SteamOS users before I submit it.

This is a minor interation on v3 that fixes a few issues that came up
during review of v3, as well as reverting a false positive from sashiko
that was added in v3.
