Hi!

I am sure Frank will comment on this as well.

The Dualshock 3 is a special case in that every button except for start,
select and the PS button are both digital and analog.  As such, the
controller reports 27 axes that end up spilling over into the ABS_MT values.
This mapping comes from the default HID descriptor from the device, so it's
been this way from day 1.  If the navigation controller is basically the
same as a DS3 then it will have the same issues.

To note, the DS3 only has 20 actual, physical axes meaning that 7 of the
reported axes don't even do anything and I'm not sure why they are there.
The HID descriptor could be rewritten to map everything in a more correct
manner, but that would break the mapping that has been there for 8 or 9
years at this point and probably break some user-space applications in the
process.

Ok, makes sense, but could this go to the beggining of hid-sony.c file
as a comment, so that it is easy to find?

And BTW to you know anything about the other move controller? I have
code to light the LED (which I really wanted), but can't get other
data. In particular, I'd like temperature ;-).
