Patch to add PDP controller ids

Description of problem:

I have an xbox 360 controller manufactured by PDP. It's described here:
http://www.pdp.com/p-835-afterglow-ax1-for-xbox-360.aspx

When I plug it into a USB port, the controller is never recognized; the player indicator LEDs just blink.

This is because the product and vendor ids for the controller are not recognized by the xpad kernel module.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in the controller.
2. Watch as the player LEDs blink. 

Expected results:
The player LED should stop blinking and indicate that the controller is player 1, if the controller is the only 360 controller plugged in.
  
Actual results:
They continue to blink.


Attached is a patch (relative to xpad.c as it is in kernel 2.6.38) that adds the extra product and vendor ids for the controller.

This patch should really go upstream.  Have you sent it to the linux-input list?
Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2012-06-06 16:49:35 UTC 
This really needs to be submitted to the upstream kernel.  We'll pick it up automatically from there.
