Thanks for the hint, indeed the switches can be used like ordinary buttons with procd. What's missing is a way to get the initial switch state after start-up, but that seems to be a limitation of the gpio-button-hotplug driver and procd, not an error in the initialization code.

I'll resend the patch rebased onto current git.
