@dualshock3nerd I just sent a reply to your kernel mailing list posting
with what I believe to be an alternate fix.

I’ve run into this issue when using the DK1 and DK2. As I mentioned on
the list, I’ve resolved the feature report issue by patching my
3.13.0-34 kernel with commit 975a68327 from mainline upstream.  I've
already patched and tested my kernel using 975a68327 -- if someone could
test to see if 975a68327 also works for the sixaxis controller, it may
be easier to get the patch accepted since it is already upstream.

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
