Yes buttonset interface suits well for dial. As of now kernel provides REL_DIAL. As of now I am thinking about rotatory knobs or something like PowerMate device. Other use case is dimmers used for light / lamps which return absolute value, has some maximum value. I did not look much to find absolute dial interface from kernel, so skipping it for now. I guess ABS_WHEEL Is not suitable for this type of devices.
