...or much more likely that the bug was never there in the first
place... :(

Looking into /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.11-03131105/include/linux/hid.h
shows that the changes that caused the regression that I pointed out in
comment #55 might not have been applied to this kernel at all.

To be more precise I'm talking about some of the changes in this commit:
commit aa6c390c4d59c9ff4fffd887e15783b2b793951b
Author: Benjamin Tissoires

    HID: remove hid_get_raw_report in struct hid_device

I can see that "hid_get_raw_report" is still there in /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.11-03131105/include/linux/hid.h
while, for instance, in /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-32/include/linux/hid.h it's not there anymore.

That leads me to believe that the fix from 3.14 is not there because the
bug itself is not there either.

The bug was caused by backporting some synaptics hid driver from upstream to the trusty kernel.
That's why the ubuntu trusty kernel is affected while 3.13 mainline is not.

Title:
  PS3 Sixaxis controller/joystick usb stopped working, regression in
  linux-image-extra-3.13.0-27-generic

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After applying upgrades to my 14.04 installations and rebooting,
  suddenly the sony sixaxis usb joystick/controller input device which I
  use a lot will now no longer appear as a joystick device.  It happens
  on at least two machines with the newest 14.04 updates as of a couple
  of days ago.  See below for kernel messages.

  I believe the actual kernel error message for this bug is:

  "Jun  5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.524566] sony
  0003:054C:0268.000E: can't set operational mode"

  After looking at the kernel sources I believe this is a problem with
  the hid_sony kernel module.  The changelog for linux-image-
  extra-3.13.0-27-generic, which contains this module, has many hid
  related changes.

  The same bug/regression, it appears, was reported on askubuntu.com
  some days ago, see this link:

  working-2-days-ago
