I'd guess that this is not a standard joystick, but rather a
serial interface via the MPU401 (the MIDI UART) in most newer game ports.

Now, why the USB gameport adapter is not even being
detected as a USB device is odd,  unless it's just
an adapter cable for a specific model of device.

I've got a gamepad that has both of these properties,
but the USB adapter is the one that it came with,
so it appears as a uhidev and uhid.
