Description

Follow-up of https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/12562

Some cores like FBNeo don't want that setting, because they are already dual mapping to dpad & analog left in a safe way, in which case i can only see that setting as dangerous (and i also heard some devices like the nintendo switch set it on by default). Having a mean to prevent that setting to be appliable at all for specific cores would be great.
