[ Upstream commit e9143268d2 ]
When a new PlayStation gamepad (DualShock 4 or DualSense) is initialized,
the input subsystem sets the default value for its absolute axes (e.g.,
ABS_X, ABS_Y) to 0.
However, the hardware's actual neutral/resting state for these joysticks
is 128 (0x80). This creates a mismatch.
When the first HID report arrives from the device, the driver sees the
resting value of 128. The kernel compares this to its initial state of 0
and incorrectly interprets this as a delta (0 -> 128). Consequently, it
generates EV_ABS events for this initial, non-existent movement.
This behavior can fail userspace 'sanity check' tests (e.g., in
Android CTS) that correctly assert no motion events should be generated
from a device that is already at rest.
This patch fixes the issue by explicitly setting the initial value of the
main joystick axes (e.g., ABS_X, ABS_Y, ABS_RX, ABS_RY) to 128 (0x80)
in the common ps_gamepad_create() function.
This aligns the kernel's initial state with the hardware's expected
neutral state, ensuring that the first report (at 128) produces no
delta and thus, no spurious event.

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.
