Ok here's another mockup.
Each box shows the controller type represented as an icon. Again the DPad would work as the selector. Pressing Up/Down selects the next available player slot. Pressing Left would remove the assignment. Underneath is a button slot which would show the currently pressed face button. This would be used to identify who is who.
Again, I really think getting this right is important. Also, having the ability to bring this screen up at any given time is a necessity in my opinion.
This is a less direct way to assign players, but it's way more compact and expandable.
Which would allow for the mother of all edge cases, 12 controllers on one console.
Assigning all 12 players could prove challenging, but in fairness, it would be about as challenging as having 12 people in front of one TV.

Here I have included profile selection. Press Right on the DPad to cycle through the profiles for your controller type.

EDIT:
There are many unofficial controllers out there. If a controller is not properly detected, but is still usable, I'd like there to be a way of adjusting the way it's shown in KODI. Something along the lines of this:
This would also solve a minor problem with some DualShock drivers, as they tend to emulate the Xbox 360 controller to be more compatible with games.
