Seesaw is a universal framework that enables extending I/O capabilities
of the i2c master devices with a compatible breakout board. As it
relates to the binding, this gamepad uses an AVR ATtiny816
microcontroller that reads the data from the buttons and the joystick
and sends the data to the master over i2c using the Seesaw framework.

The Arduino driver I linked was the only resource that had the
implementation of the seesaw framework as well as the example code
specific to this device:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Seesaw/tree/master/examples/Mini_I2C_Gamepad_QT
On further thought, a link to the accompanying document from the
manufacturer (https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/gamepad-qt.pdf)
might be more relevant for the binding which includes the hardware
description as well as links to the above-mentioned Arduino driver.

Thanks for the review.
