[Bug 40658] Joystick POW hat switch rotated for JOYDEVDRIVER=(js) while JOYDEVDRIVER=(event) is Ok

[WineHQ Bugzilla]

--- Comment #31 from Rémi Bernon <rbernon at codeweavers.com> ---
I'm definitely not opposed to make the axis mapping configurable somehow, to
help with bogus devices and users, just that doing it in DInput like it was
done before doesn't seem right anymore.

Wine now exposes any host joystick as an HID device internally, and DInput is
only one of the many ways to access them. Applications may use HID APIs
directly, and I know several middleware are doing it instead of DInput which is
kind of considered as legacy.

So having a customizable mapping in winebus.sys instead, for when where we
convert evdev axes to HID usages makes more sense, it's just not implemented
yet.

Of course, that won't cover cases where Wine simply acts as a pass-through,
like with hidraw devices, or where the mapping is already done elsewhere, like
with SDL.
