The devicetree binding for gpio-keys-polled already allows specifying
what type of events (key / rel / abs) a button generates when pressed.
But for rel / abs axis we also need to specify which value this specific
gpio represents.
One usecase is digital joysticks / direction-pads which are hooked up to
gpio, in this case we've left and right buttons which we want to map to
EV_ABS, ABS_X and we want generate events for left with a value of -1 and
for right with a value of +1 (and similar for up / down and ABS_Y).

Changes in v2:
-Add Rob's ack
-s/send/sent/
-Make the remarks of axis reporting a value of 0 when all buttons tied to
that axis are released also apply to EV_REL axis
