I have one of those gamepads, and since Linux 3.18 the kernel hides one
of its axes.
In Linux 3.17 jstest reports it as
Joystick (PC Game Controller ) has 7 axes (X, Y, Z, Rx, Rz, Hat0X,
Hat0Y)
and in Linux 3.18 as
Joystick (PC Game Controller ) has 6 axes (X, Y, Z, Rz, Hat0X, Hat0Y)
It has 6 physical axes (X, Y, Rx, Ry, Hat0X, Hat0Y), but Ry is reported
as Rz, and Z emits noise (which had to be silenced with jscal).
I bisected disappearing axis to the following commit [1], but if I
understand correctly, it is the device that is wrong by misreporting
some property of Rx.
I can remap Rz to Ry in userspace with ioctl(fd, JSIOCSAXMAP, ...),
though I never had to. Can I likewise restore Rx in userspace (and also
delete Z)? If not, or if this device justifies a quirk, how should it
be added?

HID: input: force generic axis to be mapped to their user space axis
Atmel 840B digitizer presents a stylus interface which reports twice
the X coordinate and then twice the Y coordinate. In its current
implementation, hid-input assign the first X to X, then the second to Y,
then the first Y to Z, then the second one to RX.
This is wrong, and X should always be mapped to X, no matter what.
A solution consists in forcing X, Y, Z, RX, RY, RZ to be mapped to their
correct user space counter part.
