I have recently bought a PS4 custom controller. It works on windows and PS4, but as soon as it gets plugged into Linux it enters a loop of disconnection, reconnection by using the next device number. Therefore, I can’t debug anything as I don’t have any stable path to the device. I figured it might be a cheap usb chipset, but I’d like to know how I could bypass this issue and use the device anyway.
Here is an excerpt of the log from dmesg :

I have tested this on multiple Linux hardwares.
