This patch series is focused on improving the compatibility and usability of the
hid-pidff force feedback driver. Last patch introduces a new, universal driver
for PID devices that need some special handling like report fixups, remapping the
button range, managing new pidff quirks and setting desirable fuzz/flat values.
This work has been done in the span of the past months with the help of the great
Linux simracing community, with a little input from sim flight fans from FFBeast.
No changes interfere with compliant and currently working PID devices.
I'm not married to the name. It's what we used previously, but if "universal" is
confusing (pidff is already the generic driver), we can come up with something
better like "hid-quirky-pidff" :)
