The "hal_joystick" component was deprecated in emc 2.2[1] and was intended
to be removed in emc 2.4.  Instead, use hal_input[2], which will require
additional modifications to joypad.hal due to different pin names.

hal_input, which has existed since emc2.2, supports more devices than
hal_joystick, and also does not suffer from the "race condition" bug
that led us to deprecate hal_joystick.

Since in emc 2.4 hal_joystick will never succesfully load, it will be
removed for the upcoming 2.4.1 release.
