you can at the very least map analog sticks to the decks gyro, i played one of the Dirt games like that. Should be great for arcade style games like sonic all stars racing or mario kart.
I specifically want turning the Deck rather than moving it left and right, and I only know of the latter, but I didn't look around much.
the gyro can be set to "joystick" and "as joystick" one of those allows you to limit the gyro to rotation around an axis, that should give you what you want.
Not at home and can't try it, but for other racing games it's enabled by default (Redout e.g.), so it shouldn't really be much of an issue to turn it on.
Good to know, I figured that maybe it was such common knowledge that nobody mentions it online. (Or I phrased the search wrong)
