Regression: gamepad Redragon Seymur 2 no longer works properly

[Leonardo Müller]

The gamepad Redragon Seymur 2 right analog stick no longer works properly with kernel versions at least 4.18 and newer. On 4.17.19 they work properly.

I already reported this regression on kernel bugzilla but it did not receive attention there and Ubuntu Cosmic release is going to be soon, so I think it's relevant it's reported here too.

This is the link of the bugzilla report I wrote: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200995

Unfortunately the gamepad is still with the problem. The right stick does not work properly, its up/down movement does the left/right action and left/right movement do nothing.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Have you tried HID_QUIRK_INCREMENT_USAGE_ON_DUPLICATE?

[Leonardo Müller (leozinho29-eu)]

No, because I don't know where I should apply HID_QUIRK_INCREMENT_USAGE_ON_DUPLICATE, as all search results are the commit message.

Where do I apply this quirk?

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Use kernel parameter "usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x100000".

[Leonardo Müller (leozinho29-eu)]

Thank you for this option. Using it the controller is working properly again.
