HID: Fix Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel
- Add the quirk "NOGET" to make the wheel work at all in native mode. - Replace the somehow broken report descriptor with a custom one to have separate throttle and brake axes. As there are significant differences in the descriptor (original descriptor "hides" the separate axes in a 24 bit FF00 usagepage, new descripter replaces that with two individual 8 bit desktop.y and desktop.rz usages) I provided a complete replacement descriptor instead trying to patch the original one. Patching the descriptor seems not feasible as the new one is much larger. Note: To actually test this you have to use the tool "ltwheelconf" to put the DFP into it's native mode - See below for more info. Background: Most Logitech wheels are initially reporting themselves with a "fallback" deviceID (USB_DEVICE_ID_LOGITECH_WHEEL - 0xc294), in order to make sure they are working even without having the proper driver installed. If the Logitech driver is installed it sends a special command to the wheel which sets the wheel to "native mode", enabling enhance features like: - Clutch pedal - extended wheel rotation range (up to 900 degrees) - H-gate shifter - separate axis for throttle / brake - all buttons When the wheel is set to native mode it basically disconnects and reconnects with a different deviceID (USB_DEVICE_ID_LOGITECH_DFP_WHEEL - 0xc298 in this case). I am working on a userspace tool [1] which does the switching from fallback to native mode. During development I found out that the Driving Force Pro wheel is not supported in native mode - quierk NOGET is missing and the throttle and brake axes are reported in a combined way only.
