[PATCH 2/2] drivers: hid: warn feature report 0x81

From: Henry Castro
Date: Thu Oct 06 2022 - 09:23:04 EST


Unfortunately, my PS DualShock 4, does not support
the feature 0x81 to get the MAC address. Instead,
use a unique hash to fake a MAC address, so I can
use DS4 to play Retroarch :)

I have 2 DualShock 4, I did not notice but I have one DS4 compatible
(clone, I guess).

The DS4 Sony -> returns -ETIMEDOUT
The DS4 clone -> returns -EPIPE

Look great the new DS4 driver :)
