I see how the documentation is confusing. I think that the choice of the axis is an implementation detail. The documentation should state the goal of this value, so I propose this wording:
"Use this value to play an effect on the steering wheel axis. This provides
better compatibility across platforms and devices as SDL will guess the
correct axis."
Value could even be renamed 'SDL_HAPTIC_STEERING_AXIS'.
For Linux, sending an effect on the X axis with a Logitech wheel works. Others brands don't have driver for Linux as far as I know.

Added Linux implementation, otherwise you get "Unsupported direction type" error.
Added documentation to explain why one would use SDL_HAPTIC_FIRST_AXIS.
SDL_UDEV_Scan must be called during SDL_SYS_HapticInit to ensure devices
outside of the 0-31 range are added to the list of haptic devices.
Fixes Bugzilla #3923.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
