Research direction
Reproduce the issue in MAVProxy by disconnecting and reconnecting a USB joystick, then try unloading and loading the joystick module as described. Trace the joystick handling and MANUAL_CONTROL behavior around disconnect and reconnect; done means the joystick recovers without restarting MAVProxy and stale MANUAL_CONTROL packets no longer prevent RC use.
