Just for reference if you want to try out if 0x12 works, you can try
this code. This is from the new driver (ps_get_report is from
hid-playstation, but you can just use one of the existing hid calls)
if you wanted to try.

#define DS4_FEATURE_REPORT_PAIRING_INFO        0x12
#define DS4_FEATURE_REPORT_PAIRING_INFO_SIZE    16

    if (hdev->bus == BUS_USB) {
        buf = kzalloc(DS4_FEATURE_REPORT_PAIRING_INFO_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!buf)
            return -ENOMEM;

        ret = ps_get_report(hdev, DS4_FEATURE_REPORT_PAIRING_INFO, buf,
                DS4_FEATURE_REPORT_PAIRING_INFO_SIZE, false);
        if (ret) {
            hid_err(hdev, "Failed to retrieve DualShock4 pairing info:
%d\n", ret);
            goto err_free;
        }

        memcpy(ds4->base.mac_address, &buf[1], sizeof(ds4->base.mac_address));
    } else {
