Indeed.

To make the union more visible explicit this could be done:

{ KE_KEY, SEESAW_BUTTON_A, .keycode = BTN_SOUTH }

Yes, and it replaces the calls to input_set_capability().

for_each_set_bit(i, (long *)&SEESAW_BUTTON_MASK, BITS_PER_TYPE(SEESAW_BUTTON_MASK))
	sparse_keymap_report_event(input, BIT(i), data.button_state & BIT(i), false);

The sparse keymap takes care of the translation.


Notes:

SEESAW_BUTTON_MASK is now an actual variable instead of a macro.
It should be 'static const' in that case.

When using the sparse keymap APIs the driver also needs to depend on
INPUT_SPARSEKMAP.
