[PATCH] Input: xpad - fix rumble on Xbox One controllers with 2015 firmware

[PATCH] Input: xpad - fix rumble on Xbox One controllers with 2015 firmware

[Cameron Gutman]

Xbox One controllers that shipped with or were upgraded to the 2015
firmware discard the current rumble packets we send. This patch changes
the Xbox One rumble packet to a form that the newer firmware will accept.

It is based on changes made to support newer Xbox One controllers in
the SteamOS brewmaster-4.1 kernel branch.

But what do we do with the older devices?

Thanks.

Re: [PATCH] Input: xpad - fix rumble on Xbox One controllers with 2015 firmware

[Cameron Gutman]

It looks like SteamOS has always used this rumble packet for Xbox One per [0].
Commit 0604949ce3b9a59c ("Input: xpad - add rumble support for Xbox One
controller") implemented a different rumble packet than Valve did in
their fork. Pierre-Loup A. Griffais pushed some of their changes upstream in
commit 2a6d7527b35cf987 ("Input: xpad - update Xbox One Force Feedback
Support") but seemed to have missed these differences in the packet format.

Re: [PATCH] Input: xpad - fix rumble on Xbox One controllers with 2015 firmware

[Cameron Gutman]

Sorry, I realized I didn't directly answer the question you were asking.

To clarify my point,
Valve's rumble code was committed in 2014 for the original Xbox One controller
(before the 2015 firmware existed). It continues to work with the latest
firmware versions. It's our different implementation that isn't working
with the newer firmware.

Thanks,
Cameron

I see. I will tweak the commit message then.
