[xbox (PowerA)]: "guide" and "share" buttons not accessible via SDL

Controller: "PowerA", 3rd-party wired Xbox Series X|S controller Detected as: "Generic X-Box Pad" Model Name: lot20103d0401 Product site

This controller works mostly fine, excepting the fact that the "Guide" and "Share" buttons do not register at all. Running evtest on this device reveals that the two buttons simply do not send anything.

All other buttons appear to work as intended, including the AGB (back-side buttons).

If evtest doesn't show any button presses, then the kernel driver isn't reading those buttons and SDL can't provide the data. If evtest is showing button events for those, then it's probably a mapping issue, and you can use the SDL controllermap program to generate a mapping and attach it to this issue.
