Arch Linux User Repository

This kernel patch was incorporated into the main kernel sources several years ago and is no longer needed.

what can i do if i get
hid-sony.c ... FAILED hid-ids.h ... FAILED Makefile ... Passed hid-sony-ds3usb.patch ... Passed hid-sony-ds3usb-dkms.dkms ... Passed hid-sony-blacklist.modprobe ... Passed ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! when making pkg

Really great template for how to create dkms of kernel module for testing purposes or while awaiting a git merge of changes. Needs to be ammended as so:

source=("hid-sony.c::https://github.com/archlinux/linux/raw/${_srctag}/drivers/hid/hid-sony.c"
        "hid-ids.h::https://github.com/archlinux/linux/raw/${_srctag}/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h"

It was originally designed to deploy code in the patch that has since been added to kernel sources. I suggest that file be replaced with this one which adds support for feature report 0x12, as a supplement to 0x81, to read data from generic DS4 gamepad compatible devices.

I was trying to get a WingmanXB adapter to be recognized as a Dualshock 4 with a customized PKGBUILD like this one (for linux515). It worked perfectly, once I changed the patch and added a special rule:

hid-sony-ds3usb.patch: Copy and paste from there as the message retains tabs which is necessary. AurWeb converts tabs to spaces which will break the patch.

Rule to add Always Poll quirk:

echo -e 'options usbhid quirks=0x0c12:0x0efa:0x400' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/wingxe.conf
