Just generally on this subject, should the code which performs the USB

It's possible that the Sixaxis or other compatible controllers will be
only USB connected and BT might not even exist on the system.

If/When I manage to do some work on rumble support, we will probably need
to ensure that a 'hid-sonyff.c' is aware of any LED settings otherwise it
might overwrite them when setting the rumble.

About leds: in order to decide which leds to set in a meaningful way we
need to know the X in /dev/input/jsX, and udev is the only way I know
to find that out, so either in a bluez plugin or in a standalone
daemon I think the answer is in userspace.

About knowing the led status, I have to check if we can read the led
settings out of the device after we have set them in the HID Output
Report, that's a good point.

Thanks,
