Fix USB Playstation controller adapters
-
I have found a previous hid-sony.ko driver / Linux kernel update broke some USB Playstation controller adapters. It is a Sony driver issue, introduced sometime around the 4.10 Linux kernel. Kernel v5.6.17 and up appear to fix it. Can we include the small Sony driver fix?

RetroPie doesn't build its own Linux kernel, it uses what Raspberry Pi OS provides. Raspberry Pi OS uses currently the 5.4.x LTS kernel branch, but there's work to upgrade to the next LTS kernel version - 5.10.
