Merging "support for xbox360 class controllers, that need initialisation" to upstream xpad

[nondebug]

@Oblomov's PR #120 was merged 3 years ago and fixes a number of third-party Xbox 360 controllers, including Elecom JC-U4013SBK. It would be great to get these fixes upstreamed.

Is there a reason this can't be upstreamed? What needs to happen before it can be merged?

FWIW the kernel driver seems to have some related changes that fix initialization of these controllers. I've been using the kernel driver instead of this module for a while now without issues.

try changing this line to if(0):

xpad/xpad.c

Line 2008 in c379818

if (xpad->xtype == XTYPE_XBOX360) {

and check whether your controller still works.

we currently send both init sequences to xpad360 controllers. What upstream does and what we did previously. I cannot verify which one is better, so I have to wait for reports.
