missing usb hid quirk for CH Products Joystick

[Roger E Critchlow Jr]

The CH Products Flightstick Pro USB joystick is recognized by the system, but produces no input events after the first batch of synthetic events. Research on the linux-usb mailing list found that several other CH Products joysticks require a hid quirk to become fully functional. I adapted earlier quirk patches to this joystick, patched linux-source-2.6.32, built a custom kernel with the basename linux-image-2.6.32.15+drm33.5, and tested that the patches do enable this joystick to work correctly.

The patch is attached. It adds a new USB device id to the CH_PRODUCTS group and then adds that device id to the list of CH_PRODUCTS joysticks that require HID_QUIRK_NOGET.

I didn't explicitly set out to test against the upstream kernel, but 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 is the listed upstream kernel for the current Lucid generic kernel that I have installed.

The joystick was tested with the flightgear flight simulator and the jstest application from the joystick package.

Hi Roger,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Tested against linux-image-2.6.36-999-generic_2.6.36-999.201009281108_amd64.deb and the bug still exists. Ie, the joystick is detected correctly but does not produce any input events.
