[PATCH v2] input: Extend matrix-keypad device tree binding

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Fri Jan 11 12:41:32 EST 2013


Some matrix keypad drivers can support different numbers of rows and
columns. Add a generic binding for these.

Implementation note:

In order to implement this binding in the kernel, we will need to modify
matrix_keypad_() to look up the number of rows and cols in
the keymap. Perhaps this could be done by passing 0 for these parameters?
Many of the parameters can already be set to NULL. Ick.

Changes in v2:
- Remove repeat rate parameters
- Update TI OMAP, tca8418 and lpc32xx bindings to use this one
