  Cheap clone controllers may (falsely) report as having a user
  calibration for the analog sticks in place, but return
  wrong/impossible values for the actual calibration data.
  In the present case at mine, the controller reports having a
  user calibration in place and successfully executes the read
  commands. The reported user calibration however is
  min = center = max = 0.

  This pull request addresses problems of this kind by checking the
  provided user calibration-data for plausibility (min < center < max)
  and falling back to the default values if implausible.

I'll note that I was experiencing a crash because of this bug when using
the GuliKit KingKong 2 controller. The crash manifests as a divide by
zero error in the kernel logs:
kernel: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI

Wouldn't it make sense to have a function that takes a single struct
joycon_stick_cal pointer and does the check?
This would make things more readable IMO.

I acknowledge the current code can be simplified further. I will submit a second version of this patch that moves the plausibility check to joycon_read_stick_calibration() and adds a joycon_use_default_calibration() function. This will avoid the code duplication present in the current patch.

In the v2 patch the check will still use both the cal_x and cal_y pointers. However, since the check will be reduced to just one if statement, that should be enough to simplify the code. The new function in the v2 patch (joycon_use_default_calibration()) was implemented so that I could simplify the existing default stick calibration code for reuse with both the left and right sticks. The new function in effect reduces four lines of code to one:
    -ctlr->left_stick_cal_x.center = DFLT_STICK_CAL_CEN;
    -ctlr->left_stick_cal_y.center = DFLT_STICK_CAL_CEN;
    -ctlr->right_stick_cal_x.center = DFLT_STICK_CAL_CEN;
    -ctlr->right_stick_cal_y.center = DFLT_STICK_CAL_CEN;
    +cal_x->center = cal_y->center = DFLT_STICK_CAL_CEN;
