I wonder do we really need this? Or we can have a generic:

	slider@0 {
		reg = <0>;
		linux,type = <EV_ABS>;
		linux,code = <ABS_X>;
	},
	vertical-slider@1 {
		reg = <1>;
		linux,type = <EV_ABS>;
		linux,code = <ABS_Y>;
	},
	wheel@2 {
		reg = <2>;
		linux,type = <EV_ABS>;
		linux,code = <ABS_WHEEL>;
	},
	button@3 {
		reg = <3>;
		linux,type = <EV_KEY>;
		linux,code = <KEY_A>;
	},
	...

I.e. you specify type/code in a generic way.

Thanks.
