Dualsense controller not functioning properly in Ubuntu 20.04 / Linux 5.15.1

I have recently bought a Dualsense controller for use with my computer. I did this because there is [in-kernel (official) support] present for it. I updated my Ubuntu to the latest stable kernel release (5.15.1) using mainline, as the currently running kernel was 5.13 and thus too low for the in-kernel driver to be supported.

Pairing with it did not work, and it was not recognized at all, so I plugged it in with a USB cable (Which is non-ideal but I hoped would help me to resolve any problems with it). It "worked", and currently I have tried using it with Steam, which seemed to recognize it as a Dualshock 4 controller, however the right analog stick is seemingly not functioning properly, and the light is unable to be set.

In short, the problems are:

• Dualsense right analog stick is non functional

• Dualsense light bar is unable to be set by Steam

Personally, I'm not even sure how to start debugging this. Dmesg output gives:

so it seems to be recognized.

I'm asking specifically either:

• What are the solutions to these issues?

• How do I start resolving these issues on my own? Where do I start?
