Re: [PATCH] drivers/hid: avoid invalid denominator

[Roderick Colenbrander <thunderbird2k@gmail.com>]

Hm, I'm a little confused then. The Shanwan gamepad is a Dualshock 3
clone (nickname 'sixaxis'), so should not go through the DualShock 4
paths. Can you double check what the vendor / device id for this
device are? Are you seeing specific errors or warnings from the driver
in the kernel logs?

I have been considering how to better handle some of these clones
devices, while also not polluting the code too much. If this device is
indeed a clone DualShock 4. I am more leaning towards finding out
sooner during device creation. Perhaps should not even create a motion
sensor device if the data will be none anyway... Hm, not sure what I
prefer yet.

Thanks,
Roderick
