Seems like this is not really needed. You've already matched the node
before you call matrix_keyboard_of_fill_keymap.

Seems a bit large to inline.

Looks like memory leaks would be very likely. Is the caller expected to
free these? If so, a matching free function should be provided. Perhaps
trying to keep platform_data compatibility is not the best approach if
it would simplify this.
