If the idea looks OK I'll fold those patches in v5, along with the
plugin renaming to "sony-controller", and maybe I'll split the plugin in
several modules too:
  sony-controller.c 	/* udev and bluez stuff */
  sony-controller-hid.c	/* hidraw and device specific stuff */
  sony-controlled-hid.h

Do you think "controller" fits the PS3 headset as well?

OK, given that:
  - all the possibly supported devices at this time are PS3 peripherals;
  - some of them are not input controllers;
  - the cable pairing/association  mechanism generally does not apply to
    other sony BT hardware;
  - someone imagined a future PS4 controller using the same pairing 
    mechanism;

with Alan we came up with the name:

	playstation-peripheral

for the plugin; do you people like that, or does the variant

	playstation-device

sound better to you?

Thanks,
   Antonio
