I've just set up a brand new PS5 controller (via Bluetooth) on Ubuntu
20.04 with kernel 5.11.0-44-generic and 'sudo evtest' seems to show it
is working. It reports events for almost all the buttons.
Re-reading your bug report I think you have a problem specific to Steam.
The errors you mention from Xorg (gdm-x-session[1946]: (II) ...) are
probably not relevant and should be ignored.

Bug description:
Hello!
Up until today, my playstation 5 controller worked great with ubuntu +
steam both over bluetooth and wired.
Now, I can get the controller connected via bluetooth, and I can use
`jstest /dev/input/js0` to read input from the controller in my
terminal, but Steam no longer recognizes the controller. This bug only
just started happening today.
When I check in my journalctl logs when connecting the controller, I
see the following, which indicates that perhaps something is going
wrong...
