There's EVIOCG* ioctl()s for this. Something sysfs (or a widely
distributed utility) would be very helpful but there is actually a
facility to read the state.

If something is needed here it should be done as part of the input
layer, not in a driver specific fashion - there's nothing specific to
GPIO keys here.
