These make sense to me, indeed.

These are digital buttons on this gamepad. What's wrong with
KEY_{left, right, up, down}? Or I would prefer BTN_{left, right, up,
down} instead.

These are also digital buttons, so what's wrong with BTN_TL/TR?

These make sense to me. At least keyboards also return the American
keycodes instead of trying to guess the label. However, if you want
"help texts" in your applications, like "press A to continue", you
need a user-space helper library, anyway. Otherwise, you cannot be
sure this key is labeled "A" on the current device.
That's also the reason why I don't think these mappings really help.

Again, why not reuse BTN_ZL/ZR?

The other Nintendo drivers return BTN_MODE for "home". Could you
explain what's wrong with that?
Thanks!
