I'd need to check what these two are for - just sending byte streams
over HID? If that's the case, no support is planned.

Not supported yet.

There should be start and select buttons.

I don't think any device uses that yet, so support is pointless. Trying
to support every feature described in the HID standard is impossible, as
it's too huge.

Can be mapped to HATxX and HATxY.  Needs incrementing "x" if more real
hats/d-pads are found/

We may need to add KEY_* definitions if there exists a device that uses
these.

There is no solution that fits all, they all need to be evaluated as to
whether they're really used anywhere, whether they can be used on input
devices (they should in gendesk), whether they can at all work, and what
would be the Linux equivalent and if there is one.

Yes, we should ignore those.
