[PATCH] hid: sony: Drop invalid Sixaxis input reports

From: Frank Praznik <hidden>
Date: 2015-07-23 23:04:35
Subsystem: hid core layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Linus Torvalds

When connected via Bluetooth the sixaxis periodically sends reports with
an ID of 1, the second byte 0xff and the rest zeroed.  These reports are
not related to the controller state and must be dropped to avoid generating
false input events.
