I am uncomfortable with us just blasting random commands to random
controllers. Can we make it device-dependent. I.e:

struct xboxone_init_packet = {
	u16 idVendor;
	u16 idProduct;
	const u8 *data;
	size_t len;
};

static const u8 xboxone_powera_init[] = {
	0x09, 0x00, 0x00, 0x09, 0x00, 0x0F, 0x00, 0x00,
	0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
};

#define XBOXONE_INIT_PKT(_vid, _pid, _data)		\
	{						\
		.idVendor	= (_vid),		\
		.idProduct	= (_pid),		\
		.data		= (_data),		\
		.len		= ARRAY_SIZE(data),	\
	}
...

static const struct xboxone_init_packet xboxone_init_packets[] = {
	...
	XBOXONE_INIT_PKT(0x24c6, 0x543a, xboxone_powera_init),
	...

With 0/0 VID/PID being "catch all" entry.

BTW, why do we set "pending" on these ones? I do not think it is needed.

Thanks.
