Hi,

It looks like Steam is suffering from having spurious joydev nodes not
properly handled by the kernel. This appears on nearly all Microsoft devices
and all Wacom tablets (though I guess the interference between Wacom tablet
and Steam is not much of a problem :-P ).

Anyway, this should fix a long standing issue (since 2011 apparently).

It's still unclear whether this will fix all the spurious joydev nodes for
other vendors too (A4Tech mice notably).

Cheers,
Benjamin
