I assume you were referring to LTS kernel 5.4 used in Ubuntu20.04.

I compiled a kernel with the proposed commit in below link. Let me know
whether it fixes your problem and I will submit a SRU to kernel 5.4 if
it does.

Title:
  Sony Dualshock 4 usb dongle crashes the whole system

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The hid-sony driver has custom DS4 connect/disconnect logic for the
  DS4 dongle, which is a USB dongle acting as a proxy to Bluetooth
  connected DS4.

  The connect/disconnect logic works fine generally, however not in
  conjunction with Steam. Steam implements its own DS4 driver using
  hidraw. Both hid-sony and Steam are issuing their own HID requests
  and are racing each other during DS4 dongle connect/disconnect
  resulting in a kernel crash in hid-sony.

  The problem is that upon a DS4 connect to the dongle, hid-sony kicks
  of 'ds4_get_calibration_data' from within its dongle hotplug code.
  The calibration code issues raw HID feature report for reportID 0x02.
  When Steam is running, it issues a feature report for reportID 0x12
  typically just prior to hid-sony requesting feature reportID 0x02.
  The result is that 'ds4_get_calibration_data' receives the data Steam
  requested as that's the HID report returing first. Currently this
  results in it processing invalid data, which ultimately results in a
  divide by zero upon a future 'dualshock4_parse_report'.

  The solution for now is to check within 'ds4_get_calibration_data' to
  check if we received data for the feature report we issued and if not
  retry. 

  Please consider to add this patch to Ubuntu LTS kernels.
