Events for the iMon Knob pad where not correctly interpreted on ARM,
resulting in buggy mouse movements (cursor going straight out of the
screen), key pad only generating KEY_RIGHT and KEY_DOWN events.
A reproducer is:
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
        char rel_x = 0x00; printf("rel_x:%d @%s:%d\n", rel_x, __FILE__, __LINE__);
        rel_x = 0x0f; printf("rel_x:%d @%s:%d\n", rel_x, __FILE__, __LINE__);
        rel_x |= ~0x0f; printf("rel_x:%d @%s:%d\n", rel_x, __FILE__, __LINE__);
        return 0;
}
(running on x86 or amd64)
$ ./test
rel_x:0 @test.c:6
rel_x:15 @test.c:7
rel_x:-1 @test.c:8
(running on armv6)
rel_x:0 @test.c:6
rel_x:15 @test.c:7
rel_x:255 @test.c:8
Forcing the rel_x and rel_y variables as signed char fixes the issue.
