Subject: [PATCH] Input: gpio-keys - add full support of EV_REL and EV_ABS
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:52:14 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320145217.9088-1-xndchn@gmail.com> (raw)

gpio_keys_gpio_report_event() handled EV_ABS but silently ignored EV_REL,
while the polled driver supports both.  Extend the interrupt-driven driver
to fire an EV_REL event on button press.

For EV_ABS, use a shared atomic counter per (type, code) pair so that
a zero-value reset is sent only when the last active button on an axis
is released, avoiding premature axis resets when multiple buttons share
the same axis code.

Add gpio_keys_set_abs_params() to call input_set_abs_params() at setup
time, deriving the axis min/max from the configured button values.
Without this the input subsystem reports unbounded axis ranges.
