Thanks, will do!

I agree, that looks cleaner.

Since it's a step closer to standardising a mapping for those analog buttons, I'd like to wait and see whether there is a consensus across drivers and maintainers. Maybe we can include something like this enum in input-event-codes.h and have a really clean solution.
