I took some more time to research and I wrote a proper patch this time.
It's just six lines of code.
What this patch does is basically restore "hid_get_raw_report" field in "struct
hid_device".
All the lines that are added by this patch were previously removed by this
commit:
commit aa6c390c4d59c9ff4fffd887e15783b2b793951b
Author: Benjamin Tissoires
HID: remove hid_get_raw_report in struct hid_device
More in depth description:
The field "hid_get_raw_report" was deprecated in more recent versions of the
Linux kernel in favour of function "hid_hw_raw_request" but in 3.13 mainline
the former is still used.
The hid-sony kernel driver in 3.13 relied on that field because the ps3
controller needs special quirks in order to set it's operational mode.
Function "hid_hw_raw_request" failed to do that.
This patch fixes the issue in a much cleaner way and leaves the changes
necessary to fix bug http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1305522 intact.
To anyone willing to test it and report back:
git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-trusty.git ubuntu-trusty
cp sixaxis-trusty.patch ubuntu-trusty
cd ubuntu-trusty
git apply sixaxis-trusty.patch
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=$(nproc) fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image
kernel_headers
After that, install the deb packages created and reboot using the new kernel.

I hope this helps to finally put an end to our investigation.

Title:
PS3 Sixaxis controller/joystick usb stopped working, regression in
linux-image-extra-3.13.0-27-generic
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After applying upgrades to my 14.04 installations and rebooting,
suddenly the sony sixaxis usb joystick/controller input device which I
use a lot will now no longer appear as a joystick device. It happens
on at least two machines with the newest 14.04 updates as of a couple
of days ago. See below for kernel messages.
I believe the actual kernel error message for this bug is:
"Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.524566] sony
0003:054C:0268.000E: can't set operational mode"
After looking at the kernel sources I believe this is a problem with
the hid_sony kernel module. The changelog for linux-image-
extra-3.13.0-27-generic, which contains this module, has many hid
related changes.
The same bug/regression, it appears, was reported on askubuntu.com
some days ago, see this link:

working-2-days-ago
