[request] Logitech wheel support through new-lg4ff driver #1077

Description

@megamster

While the in-tree hid-logitech module only supports a constant force effect, the new-lg4ff kernel module supports most effects defined in the Linux FF API, massively improving the user experience with the supported Logitech wheels, making the experience comparable with the one in Windows.

Since I had read about great wheel support in ChimeraOS, which makes sense as it is a gaming focused OS, I was extremely disappointed after opening up Oversteer (made by the creator of new-lg4ff) and seeing that most of the force feedback sliders were greyed out for my G25 wheel. Tried some games and the experience was abysmal.

There is an AUR package for the new-lg4ff module so, hopefully, it wouldnt be too hard to include in ChimeraOS and it would make a massive difference for anyone using any of the supported Logitech wheels.

I have tried to unlock the filesystem and install the module myself but it just errors out.
