Can we deprecate the Samsung format, and only allow it for that Samsung
device (and allow both there), and require a single format for any other
keyboard?
I'm definitely ok with that. Thomas, Grant, Rob? The code in question
is queued for 3.3, so it hasn't been out in a real release yet.

Adding Kukjin as well since it's getting merged through his tree.
Yeah, I'm okay with that.

BTW, please drop the "compatible" value for this binding.  This binding
describes a common way of describing key mappings, but it isn't a complete
device binding in and of itself.  Rather, it is a binding used by other
bindings; and as such no driver should ever bind against it directly.  The
samsung driver can continue to use the other format if it so desires; there
is no harm in it doing so.

Instead, a driver that expects the binding can just call the
matrix_keyboard_of_fill_keymap() library function without checking
the compatible list.
