Hi Andrew,

I've rebuilt the package for you against the RHEL 7.3 kernel 
(kernel-3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64) which should hopefully fix this issue.

The following packages have been pushed to the elrepo testing repository 
and should be available shortly:

http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el7/x86_64/RPMS/ [^]

kmod-joydev-0.0-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
joydev-kmod-0.0-2.el7.elrepo.src.rpm

Please would you test them and report back if they work as expected for you.

Many thanks,

Phil
