The Joystick/gamepad detection at least would fit like a hand in a glove in
QDeviceDiscovery, it already has all the libudev logic, it just doesn't detect
the Joystick input types currently.
It wouldn't be impossible to imagine it also discovering serial-ports, seeing
that is also handles displays, though qtserialport seems to also read some
device and vendor names QDeviceDiscovery does not.
