It may mot be present in device tree binding, but the driver does support it, so I would rather extend the binding than have a brand new driver. > > While both the device tree binding and the gpio-keys driver could possibly be adapted to > support this, it makes sense to me to describe joysticks in a separate binding and keep > the driver implementations apart. Why? From the input core perspective there is no difference.

You do not need to use it when you describe the device (BTW autorepeat for trigger might be a good thing).
