Sorry, I have to reject this patch.
First, you added support for the adapter to the wrong file - if
anywhere, the logic should be either inside analog.c, or in a separate
driver, which would be probably better.
Second, the 2.4 input layer is in bugfix-only mode now. Any new features
can go only into 2.6.
Third - the ElCheapo interface is totally ugly. With just a few more
component a real convertor, working as a real joystick is possible.
Fourth - we already have three drivers for these joystick (db9, gamecon
and turbografx), all connected via trivial circuits to the parallel
port.
