Research direction

Start by reviewing Wine merge request 12160, then locate the xinput1_3 implementation in this repository and compare the upstream change with the Proton tree. Apply the corresponding change so disabled controllers are not enumerated, and verify the result with the relevant controller behavior or tests available in the project.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Proton has a gamepad bug that I just fixed in Wine. Since Proton is game focused, it's pretty important to get it into Proton too, so that we'll have a world where people can disable controllers without worrying whether they're on Wine or Proton:
