Smeuuh, I can confirm the exact same thing happened to me. There's the
"bogus accelerometer" event device (called USB Dance Mat Motion Sensors
on my pad), and then there's another which isn't recognized by Stepmania
(you can see "not a joystick; ignoring" on its output if you run it from
terminal). On my Mayflash TX4500-v2 the product string is USB Dance Mat.
The IDs are indeed 054c:0268 on my dance pad as well. Oddly, it didn't
seem to need the quirk as the two devices were there and received events
even before patching the kernel.

What I did end up doing was mapping the joystick device (the one that
registers input when looking with evtest or similar tool) as an Xbox
controller via Xboxdrv. You have to do that manually, though, since just
enabling the service doesn't detect the mapping correctly. I used this
guide here: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Universal-
Controller-Calibration-&-Mapping-Using-xboxdrv . After that the fake
Xbox controller got detected by Stepmania and worked flawlessly after
mapping it in Options (I didn't need axisfix, your situation may vary).
Hope this workaround helps you a bit.

I have a hunch the quirk does not work at this point, and the dance pads
still get detected as a borked PS3 controller (with accelerometer).
