Bug Description
===SRU Justification===
[Impact]
New steam-hid driver breaks Unity games.
[Fix]
Quote from the commit message:
"With this commit, when a HID client starts, the input device is removed;
when the HID client ends the input device is recreated."
[Test]
A guy from Valve comfirms the backport works.
[Regression Potential]
Low. This fix is specific to hid-steam, which is a new driver introduced
in v4.18.
===Original Bug Report===
The new hid_steam driver in kernel 4.18 breaks the use of it within Steam.
Games either:
- Crash
- Don't detect it at all
- Only pick it up as player 2
To get it working as normal, it needs blacklisting currently.
