Thanks for reporting this. Not very nice of the udev maintainer to break a 
supposedly persistent device name like this...

Could you please file a *new* serious bug report against the stable 
version of qcontrol (0.4.2-1) for this?

What do you have in /dev/input/by-path/ now? I would expect:
   platform-gpio-keys-event

If that's the case, then you can work around it by creating a file
/etc/udev/rules.d/z60-qcontrol.rules:
KERNEL==event*, ENV{ID_PATH}==platform-gpio-keys, \
SYMLINK+=input/by-path/$env{ID_PATH}-event

That rule file can be deleted again when either udev or qcontrol is fixed 
in the next stable update.

Cheers,
FJP
