DualShock 4 input issues on steam games

I'm not sure about the details, but steam emulates an xbox 360 controller to make the DS4 work in games, but that sometimes doesn't happen and the only fix I found is restarting the system until it does. The system detects the controller fine, and even steam itself does, but it just doesn't work in games unless it emulates an x360 controller.

I attached the kernel logs and you can see the difference in one extra line which makes the magic work. This extra line is initiated not when system detects the controller, but on first steam game launch that requires it.

Are there any workarounds for this annoyance? I sometimes have to reboot up to 5 times for it to work.
