Public bug reported:

Hi there,

my driver submission has just been accepted for the upcoming 4.20
mainline kernel by the input maintainers:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git/commit/?h=for-4.20/bigbenff&id=256a90ed9e46b270bbc4e15ef05216ff049c3721

The BigBen Interactive PS3OFMINIPAD kids' gamepad is a Playstation3
accessory and was designed for smaller hands. The Linux kernel didn't
support its rumble effects, so the device's HID protocol needed to be
reverse-engineered to write this driver.

I originally wrote this driver for the Raspberry Pi and the Retropie
software used by my kids. But now that Steam and Proton are here, we are
using our Ubuntu boxes more and more often for gaming, so including this
driver in the default kernel would be nice.

The patch applies cleanly on the kernels of 18.04 and 18.10 with no
changes, so there's no backporting to do.

Thank you.
