I have a brand new DualShock 4 and the descriptor is a different size 
than what the hid-sony driver expects. This causes the controller to not 
work at all over wireless except for the trackpad. On USB it sort of 
works but the motion sense does not. This affects kernels starting at 
3.15 all the way to the current 4.3rc6.

In sony_report_fixup() it looks for a size of 467 for USB or 357 for 
Bluetooth but my controller's descriptor size is 499 USB and 365 BT.

I changed the sizes and the controller seems to be fully functional now. 
Is the descriptor size check actually even necessary? Don't all DS4's 
require the modified descriptor table regardless? I don't know.

These are the changes I made against 4.3rc6:
