Have a look at hid_configure_usage in hid-input.c [3]. Most of HID
events are mapped to input events with a one to one mapping.

Have a look at [2], lots of full report descriptors :)

And in your case, the reports are incomplete, not odd.

If you need help in writing report descriptors, I can give you some,
but the easiest might be for you to start from the report descriptor
in hid-sony.c. I used to have a tool to dynamically write a report
descriptor, but I'm not sure it still works...

FYI, I just re-read rcsim_raw_event() and there is stuff that would
require more than just a report descriptor fixup (the fact that some
data is sent every other report is not good and will need some manual
handling though).

Cheers,
Benjamin
