Feature Request
I confirm:

- that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that

Using Gabriel Jacobo's maintained SDL_GameControllerDB I think it'll improve/fix controller support for some games. https://github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB
Justification [optional]
Better out of the box controller support for more games.
Risks [optional]
Dropin I think with hopefully no regressions over any game included one.
