Description
Tested with:
- RetroPie 4.4.2 (installed manually with 'git clone')
- Raspbian Stretch lite 4.14.62-v7+
- Clone Gasia and Clone shanwan
- with customhidsony or with not customhidsony
I connect the PS3 control with usb cable and then disconnect, it does not pair via bluetooth.
If I run "sixad-helper sixpair" manually, the connection via bluetooth is performed perfectly.
I think this error is in "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-sixad.rules"

Research direction
Start with /etc/udev/rules.d/99-sixad.rules and compare the automatic behavior with running sixad-helper sixpair manually. Reproduce the reported USB-connect-then-disconnect flow on the listed RetroPie and Raspbian setup. Done means the PS3 controller pairs over Bluetooth without manually running sixpair.
