Hi,

please consider enabling CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK for the arm64 kernel.

Today I was surprised that plugging my xbox 360 controller into the USB
port of my (arm64) laptop did not just work as it did with the (amd64)
laptop of my partner.

I enabled the following and rebuilt my kernel to make this work:

CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK=y
CONFIG_JOYSTICK_XPAD=m
CONFIG_JOYSTICK_XPAD_FF=y
CONFIG_JOYSTICK_XPAD_LEDS=y

Only the first line is needed as it seems to automatically enable all
the joystick modules. I rebooted and can confirm that I can now finally
play Stardew Valley with my xbox 360 controller on my arm64 laptop.

Please consider enabling this in the official Debian kernel as well.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
