How-To use wired "PS5 DualSense Controllers" with LibreELEC on RPI5?

    How-To use wired "PS5 DualSense Controller" with LibreELEC?

    I use Raspberry PI 5 and connected them with long USB cable. PS5 DualSense Controller is not recognized.

    But I read in news:

    Sony Publishes An Official Linux Driver For PS5 DualSense Controllers (phoronix.com)

    Sony Publishes An Official Linux Driver For PS5 DualSense Controllers - Slashdot
    Sony has published a new "hid-playstation" Linux kernel driver for bringing up the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller and will also be used for supporting…

    chewitt@toolbox:~/LibreELEC.rpi$ git grep HID_PLAYSTATION
    ...
    projects/RPi/devices/RPi/linux/linux.arm.conf:CONFIG_HID_PLAYSTATION=y
    projects/RPi/devices/RPi2/linux/linux.arm.conf:CONFIG_HID_PLAYSTATION=y
    projects/RPi/devices/RPi4/linux/linux.aarch64.conf:CONFIG_HID_PLAYSTATION=y
    projects/RPi/devices/RPi5/linux/linux.aarch64.conf:CONFIG_HID_PLAYSTATION=y

    The driver is enabled in our kernel configs ^ and I confirm it works with a PS4 controller via Bluetooth (code for the PS4 controller was ported from CONFIG_HID_SONY after the hid-playstation driver came into existence).

    Is anything reported in dmesg? (share a logfile)
