Subject: [PATCH v3] HID: nintendo: check analog user calibration for plausibility

Arne Wendt writes:
  Cheap clone controllers may (falsely) report as having a user
  calibration for the analog sticks in place, but return
  wrong/impossible values for the actual calibration data.
  In the present case at mine, the controller reports having a
  user calibration in place and successfully executes the read
  commands. The reported user calibration however is
  min = center = max = 0.

  This pull request addresses problems of this kind by checking the
  provided user calibration-data for plausibility (min < center < max)
  and falling back to the default values if implausible.

I'll note that I was experiencing a crash because of this bug when using
the GuliKit KingKong 2 controller. The crash manifests as a divide by
zero error in the kernel logs:
kernel: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI

Changes in v2:
 - Move the plausibility check to joycon_read_stick_calibration() and
   have that function return -EINVAL if the check fails.
 - In the plausibility check, change >= to ==. hid_field_extract() never
   returns a negative value, so a scenario involving min > center or
   center > max is impossible.
 - To reduce code duplication, move the code for setting default
   calibration values into a single function called
   joycon_use_default_calibration().

Changes in v3:
 - Unbreak warning string to conform to coding style.
 - Change joycon_use_default_calibration() to accept a struct hid_device
   pointer instead of a struct joycon_ctlr pointer.
