Roderick Colenbrander f5dc93b787 HID: sony: Workaround for DS4 dongle hotplug kernel crash.
The hid-sony driver has custom DS4 connect/disconnect logic for the
DS4 dongle, which is a USB dongle acting as a proxy to Bluetooth
connected DS4.

The connect/disconnect logic works fine generally, however not in
conjunction with Steam. Steam implements its own DS4 driver using
hidraw. Both hid-sony and Steam are issuing their own HID requests
and are racing each other during DS4 dongle connect/disconnect
resulting in a kernel crash in hid-sony.

The problem is that upon a DS4 connect to the dongle, hid-sony kicks
of 'ds4_get_calibration_data' from within its dongle hotplug code.
The calibration code issues raw HID feature report for reportID 0x02.
When Steam is running, it issues a feature report for reportID 0x12
typically just prior to hid-sony requesting feature reportID 0x02.
The result is that 'ds4_get_calibration_data' receives the data Steam
requested as that's the HID report returing first. Currently this
results in it processing invalid data, which ultimately results in a
divide by zero upon a future 'dualshock4_parse_report'.

The solution for now is to check within 'ds4_get_calibration_data' to
check if we received data for the feature report we issued and if not
retry. This fixes bug 206785.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
