Gyro input on Switch Pro controller does not work on Linux (tested Doom Eternal)

[dmayle]

I'm seeing the same issue as reported in #8273.

Steam works great, Doom Eternal works great, my Switch Pro Controller (connected over USB) works great. However, the gyro input, while configurable, does not do anything, no matter which setting I choose.

Taking the same configuration into Windows 10, the gyro input works.

I haven't gotten around to testing this in a while, but just did. On latest steam, with every Proton I tried (experimental, 7.0-4, 6.3-8, 5.13-6, 5.0-10), this still doesn't work. I'm not using hid_nintendo, or any other hack, just the pure steam switch pro controller support.
