The current description of ADC keys is not precise enough.

"when this key is pressed" leaves it open if a key is considered pressed
below or above the threshold. This has led to confusion:
drivers/input/keyboard/adc-keys.c ignores the meaning of thresholds and
sets the key that is closest to press-threshold-microvolt.

This patch nails down the definitions and provides an interpretation of the
supplied example.
