You may want to do that in xpad_close().

Can this be moved into xpad_init_ff?

Normally we define dummy fucntions when corresponding config option is disabled
to avoid littering main code with #ifdefs.

This is extra - we already did that in xpad_close.

Hi Dmitry,
thanks for feedback. Improved version of this patch follows:

It is enabled only if CONFIG_XPAD_FF is set to y.

Implementation is using force feedback support for memoryless devices.

Hi again,
what do you think about this? (This patch will work only against last
gamepad rumble support patch)

Thanks for your time
Jan Kratochvil

BigX button on xbox360 gamepad is surrounded by 4 green leds. This
patch adds support to control them.

This device understand to 14 messages (described at
http://www.free60.org/wiki/Gamepad#LED_Control).

Control is done through event interface, message type EV_LED. EV_LED isn't
perfect match because you are actualy not turning some led on or off but
more likely you are telling the gamepad what "flash effect" it should
play.
