The x86-legacy.devs is for x86-based platforms. The pandaboard is ARM
based, so you do not need that file there. Also, the input here is also
based on the UART that is driven by the kernel, so there's no driver
necessary in user-land here. As already questioned in the other mail,
how are you trying to get the input in your program?

I've not written the particular code, but the scm_offset seems to select
a specific gpio block.
For starting to work on a driver I recommend to start with a simple
program and directly work on the MMIO. This helps to understand how the
device is working. When basic things work, such as switching pins
on/off, settings directions, interrupts, etc things can be integrated.
