commit e72455b898ac678667c5674668186b4670d87d11 upstream.
Fix for non-working buttons on knock-off USB dongles for Sony controllers. These USB dongles are used to connect older Sony DA/DS1/DS2 controllers via USB and are common on Amazon, AliExpress, etc. Without the patch, the square, X, and circle buttons do not function. These dongles used to work prior to kernel 4.10 but removing the global DS3 report fixup in commit e19a267b9987 ("HID: sony: DS3 comply to Linux gamepad spec") exposed the problem.
Many people reported the problem on the Ubuntu forums and are working around the problem by falling back to the 4.9 hid-sony driver.
The problem stems from these dongles incorrectly reporting their button count as 13 instead of 16. This patch fixes up the report descriptor by changing the button report count to 16 and removing 3 padding bits.
