[PATCH] Input: xpad - add support for Corsair Novablade Pro

[PATCH] Input: xpad - add support for Corsair Novablade Pro

[Krzysztof Furman via B4 Relay]

From: Krzysztof Furman <krisfur@proton.me>

Add device IDs for the Corsair Novablade Pro leverless fight controller
in both wired (0x2b1f) and 2.4 GHz receiver (0x2b2b) modes, and add
Corsair's vendor ID to the Xbox 360 vendor match list.

Outside of its PS4/PS5 modes the controller uses the Xbox 360 protocol
(vendor-specific class, subclass 93, protocol 1) on interface 0, which
xpad does not currently bind, so no gamepad device is created. The
PS4/PS5 modes present a standard HID gamepad and already work with
hid-generic.

Tested on 7.2.5 with the 2.4 GHz receiver and wired.

The PS5 mode (0x2b27) presents a plain HID gamepad and needs no xpad
change, so it is not included.
