Xbox Series X/S controllers paired via Bluetooth appear in bluetoothctl devices
but never create a /dev/input/js* device — Steam and browsers see nothing,
no error shown. The in-tree xpad driver doesn't handle Xbox Series X/S over
Bluetooth; xpadneo-dkms (already in CachyOS repos) fixes it.
A chwd USB profile detecting vendor 045e / product 0b13 and installing
xpadneo-dkms would give users the same "just works" experience as GPU drivers,
following the existing fprint profile pattern.
Tested on CachyOS 7.0.3-1-cachyos with xpadneo-dkms 0.10.2-1.
