[PATCH v5 2/2] input: joystick: driver for Adafruit Seesaw Gamepad

From: Anshul Dalal
Date: Mon Oct 16 2023 - 23:45:39 EST


Adds a driver for a mini gamepad that communicates over i2c, the gamepad
has bidirectional thumb stick input and six buttons.

The gamepad chip utilizes the open framework from Adafruit called 'Seesaw'
to transmit the ADC data for the joystick and digital pin state for the
buttons. I have only implemented the functionality required to receive the
thumb stick and button state.

Steps in reading the gamepad state over i2c:
1. Reset the registers
2. Set the pin mode of the pins specified by the `BUTTON_MASK` to input
`BUTTON_MASK`: A bit-map for the six digital pins internally
connected to the joystick buttons.
3. Enable internal pullup resistors for the `BUTTON_MASK`
4. Bulk set the pin state HIGH for `BUTTON_MASK`
5. Poll the device for button and joystick state done by:
`seesaw_read_data(struct i2c_client *client, struct seesaw_data *data)`

Changes for v5:
- Added link to the datasheet
- Added debug log message when `seesaw_read_data` fails

Changes for v4:
- Changed `1UL << BUTTON_` to BIT(BUTTON_)
- Removed `hardware_id` field from `struct seesaw_gamepad`
- Removed redundant checks for the number of bytes written and received by
`i2c_master_send` and `i2c_master_recv`
- Used `get_unaligned_be32` to instantiate `u32 result` from `read_buf`
- Changed `result & (1UL << BUTTON_)` to
`test_bit(BUTTON_, (long *)&result)`
- Changed `KBUILD_MODNAME` in id-tables to `SEESAW_DEVICE_NAME`
- Fixed formatting issues
- Changed button reporting:
Since the gamepad had the action buttons in a non-standard layout:
(X)
(Y) (A)
(B)
Therefore moved to using generic directional action button event codes
instead of BTN_[ABXY].

Changes for v3:
- no updates

Changes for v2:
adafruit-seesaw.c:
- Renamed file from 'adafruit_seesaw.c'
- Changed device name from 'seesaw_gamepad' to 'seesaw-gamepad'
- Changed count parameter for receiving joystick x on line 118:
`2` to `sizeof(write_buf)`
- Fixed invalid buffer size on line 123 and 126:
`data->y` to `sizeof(data->y)`
- Added comment for the `mdelay(10)` on line 169
- Changed inconsistent indentation on line 271
Kconfig:
- Fixed indentation for the help text
- Updated module name
Makefile:
- Updated module object file name
MAINTAINERS:
- Updated file name for the driver and bindings
