Right now, the gpio-keys driver is mostly used with EV_KEY event types.
However, this driver (and its devicetree bindings) support specifying
a different input type, like EV_ABS, even though this doesn't work in
practice: "key pressed" events are correctly received and treated, but
"key released" are silently ignored.

With this commit, keys configured as EV_ABS will inject an event with
the value 0 when released.
No, this will break setups like this:

gpio0 - ABS_X - 0
gpio1 - ABS_X - 1
gpio2 - ABS_X - 2
...
gpio7 - ABS_X - 7

- something like a slider built on top of gpios.

So what would you suggest for the implementation of a hat / d-pad on top of GPIOs?

Thanks,
