How can I extend the auto-shutoff timer for a generic PS4 controller?

The controller I'm using shuts off after about 5 minutes of idle time. I tried adjusting the value in Steam, but it doesn't have any effect.

Does anyone know where this value may be stored or how I can change it to be much longer?

According to the PS4 user guide (https://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps4/settings/controlleroff.html) it can be done, so I reckon it is either a bug in the linux driver or in the Steam software.

I would guess it's set in the controller's firmware and can't be changed. D=
