Sorry, git hates me, but you can use my one-liner however you want ;)

The goal is to have a udev callout when the joypad is plugged in, so
that it "pairs" for Bluetooth usage with the machine it's being plugged
in.

The device is not discoverable, and needs to be poked (as the original I
sent does) to set its master (ie. which Bluetooth device it will try to
connect to when the "Home" button is pressed without a cable plugged
in).

Using libusb means disconnecting the device from its driver to get the
report descriptor. Using hiddev, we can poke it without relinquishing
control over it, so when you plug it in, it would still work as a pad.

Cheers
