When SDL is enabled in Dolphin, and configuring a Gamepad (xbox 360 in my case) to use SDL, the emulator crashes on exit, if a gamepad is attached. Detaching it before exiting fixes it. I reported the bug upstream here: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11399. They say that SDL support is legacy, and this matches with a discussion I had in their IRC channel, where they said that SDL support is generally only present for *BSD, and Linux should be using evdev instead. Maybe the SDL use-flag should be default-disabled (or even masked) so that evdev is used instead.

SDL is legacy according to upstream and evdev should be used instead.
