I guess, this is any key on a system board, and is not like the usual,
pretty well defined "kbd".

For path links of platform devices, we should just create a:
  /dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio-keys-event
link, which should be fine as long as there is only a single interface
per platform device. USB devices should also be fine in having this
link, because they include the interface number in the path name.

I've committed a change along with some other pending changes to the
git repository.

Thanks,
Kay
