Hmm, so in the end this is just a bunch of buttons connected to
interrupt lines. We already have a driver for that, called gpio-keys. It
can work in pure interrupt mode (i.e. do not need real GPIO pin, just
interrupt, and it will generate key down and up events when interrupt
arrives, with possible delay for the up event).

Thanks.
