Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The extended Steam Deck driver was disabled before due to crashes from a new SteamOS update. Either remove the warning thats its not there due to it being intentionally disabled or re-enable it if the crash is fixed.
Describe the solution you'd like
Controlify no longer warns you about the extended driver and instead warns you that gyro and back buttons dont work due to a SteamOS update if the crash has not been fixed yet. If the crash has been fixed, then re-enable the extended Steam Deck driver if Decky is installed.
Extended driver is disabled even when Decky is installed and warns you despite it being intentionally disabled and does not tell you that it was intentional.

Research direction
Start by checking the current Steam Deck extended-driver handling, the warning shown when Decky is installed, and whether the SteamOS crash still occurs. Done means the driver is safely re-enabled if fixed, or the warning accurately explains the disabled driver and the unavailable gyro and back-button support.
