Description

The HID report for retrieving calibration data (and probably the actual calibration data itself) has changed in the PS4 Move controller.

Since the raw calibration data is currently directly written to disk, this is a problem. We should probably save the data in a custom format that we can fill with data from the reports as needed.

Research direction

Start by locating the HID report handling for PS4 Move calibration data and the code that writes raw calibration data to disk. Compare the current report and data assumptions with the changed controller behavior. Done means calibration data is retrieved reliably and stored in a custom format that can be extended as report data changes.
