Hei!

I try to connect my xbox controller to WSL2 (need to use it in ROS).
I got xbox controller attached to wsl2 using usbipd and it appears under /dev/bus/usb/00x/ devices but no drivers "attached".

Also, it did not appear under /dev/input/jsx device.
Under Linux computer it looks like this

I see that there is xpad driver in wsl kernel https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel/blob/master/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.c. How should I make that device under dev/bus/usb/00x to use this xpad driver?
