Description of problem:
plugged in a Nintendo Switch Pro controller
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/iio-sensor-proxy from using the 'sys_admin' capabilities.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that iio-sensor-proxy should have the sys_admin capability by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'iio-sensor-prox' --raw | audit2allow -M my-iiosensorprox
# semodule -X 300 -i my-iiosensorprox.pp
