Adds a driver for a mini gamepad that communicates over i2c, the gamepad
has bidirectional thumb stick input and six buttons.
The gamepad chip utilizes the open framework from Adafruit called 'Seesaw'
to transmit the ADC data for the joystick and digital pin state for the
buttons. I have only implemented the functionality required to receive the
thumb stick and button state.
Steps in reading the gamepad state over i2c:
1. Reset the registers
2. Set the pin mode of the pins specified by the `BUTTON_MASK` to input
`BUTTON_MASK`: A bit-map for the six digital pins internally
connected to the joystick buttons.
3. Enable internal pullup resistors for the `BUTTON_MASK`
4. Bulk set the pin state HIGH for `BUTTON_MASK`
5. Poll the device for button and joystick state done by:
`seesaw_read_data(struct i2c_client *client, struct seesaw_data *data)`

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
