HID: add driver for Valve Steam Controller
There are two ways to connect the Steam Controller: directly to the USB
or with the USB wireless adapter. Both methods are similar, but the
wireless adapter can connect up to 4 devices at the same time.
The wired device will appear as 3 interfaces: a virtual mouse, a virtual
keyboard and a custom HID device.
The wireless device will appear as 5 interfaces: a virtual keyboard and
4 custom HID devices, that will remain silent until a device is actually
connected.
The custom HID device has a report descriptor with all vendor specific
usages, so the hid-generic is not very useful. In a PC/SteamBox Valve
Steam Client provices a software translation by using hidraw and a
creates a uinput virtual gamepad and XTest keyboard/mouse.
This driver intercepts the hidraw usage, so it can get out of the way
when the Steam Client is in use.
