nirenjan 45f009ac90 Move LED tests in x52test to the end 
x52test doesn't perform any checks to see if the connected device
supports setting individual LEDs. Therefore, if an X52 (non-Pro) was
connected when running x52test, it would fail when running the LED
tests, and not perform any of the subsequent tests.

By moving the LED tests to the end, this allows the other tests to run
on a non-Pro X52. Although the tests would still fail, it won't actually
break anything.

Addresses #19.

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux

This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52 Pro flight control system. The X52 pro is a HOTAS (hand on throttle and stick) with 7 axes, 39 buttons, 1 hat and 1 thumbstick and a multi-function display which is programmable.

Currently, only Windows drivers are available from Saitek PLC, which led me to develop a new Linux driver which can program the MFD and the individual LEDs on the joystick. The standard usbhid driver is capable of reading the joystick, but it cannot control the MFD or LEDs.

Most of the extra functionality can be handled from userspace. See the individual folders for README information.
