Allow more usb joysticks in SDL

[Edd Barrett]

I have this usb keyboard which uses 3 uhid devices nodes, leaving only one left
for SDL to use (SDL has a hardcoded limit of 4 usb devices).

Let's bump this. Tested using emulators/dgen. OK?

Hi.

Why does SDL set keyboards as joysticks in the first place?

It doesn't set them as joysticks as such, but it accesses USB joysticks
via a /dev/uhid* node. More than just joysticks use this kind of device
node.

That's all I know.
