Sony DualSense Controller Audio Jack Handling Ready For Linux 6.18


In addition to the patches providing haptic touchpad support for Linux 6.18, another notable HID addition queued into the 'hid-next' tree ahead of the imminent Linux 6.18 merge window is proper audio jack handling with the Sony PlayStation DualSense controller.

"The Sony DualSense wireless controller (PS5) provides an internal mono speaker, in addition to the 3.5mm jack socket for headphone output and headset microphone input. * Register a dedicated input device for the audio jack and use it to report all headphone and headset mic insert events." This handling is being tacked onto the PlayStation HID driver as a useful improvement for Linux gamers using the Sony DualSense controller.
