Nautilus has a PEN_EJECT signal that is baffled to 2 CPU GPIO pins:

B19: We charge an ascribe disciplinarian to use this to emit SW_PEN_INSERTED event. (This application enables the B19 usecase).
B21: This is acclimated for wakeup (configured by ACPI)

Kevin uses gpio-keys disciplinarian to do this but the disciplinarian alone understands accessory copse or belvedere data. Hence we instantiate the gpio-keys with the belvedere data.
