Description
Hi, I've been using the SNES Switch pad plugged into my MiSTer with a USB cable as my go-to and never had issues, but the latest update seems to have broken compatibility (now the controller just charges.) I do recall reading that there's been a change to how Linux polls inputs/how Bluetooth works and I assume they're related somehow, so I thought I'd bring it to everybody's attention here.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the SNES Switch controller behavior on the latest MiSTer/Linux update and compare it with the prior working version, focusing on the reported Linux input-polling or Bluetooth changes. Done means the controller is detected over USB and inputs work instead of only charging.
