      I noticed that the mk_arcade_joystick_rpi GPIO module is not listed at [1] but only appears in an appendix for the RPI4 at [2]. I guess this versatile module should be placed where it can easily be found in the documentation.

      Sure, it was broken [3] in the past for the RPI4 and from kernel 4.15 onwards, but those issues are fixed and I can confirm this module works well with a RPI3 and RPI4 (both branches retropie and retropie-hotkeybtn) on latest RetroPie.

      Is the absence on [1] because nobody did document it yet for being on par with the other GPIO modules? In that case I can provide some updates to the page.

      Thanks for sharing some insights.
