Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Input: gpio_keys - Set ABS params when using axes

The gpio-keys supports the EV_ABS event type, but does not actually
configure the input device to work with that mode.

This patch configures the axis corresponding to button->code as being
in the range [-1,+1]. This makes it possible to use gpio-keys to
implement a hat (using the ABS_HAT0X /ABS_HAT0Y axes, with two GPIOs
each with values -1/+1).
