(CC'ing DT bindings maintainers too, hence quoting a bit of the patch)

Many of Key device tree bindings uses the constant number as key code
which matches with kernel header key code and then comment as follows
for reference/better readability:
	linux,code = <102>; /* KEY_HOME */

Create a DT header which defines all the key code so that DT key bindings
can use it as follows:
	linux,code = <KEY_HOME>;

This looks fine to me.

A comment in support of the patch: This is adding OS-specific content to
the DT. However, the bindings this header file supports are already
written that way. There's not really any alternative here, since some
numbering scheme had to be chosen for keycodes, and it may as well be
the same set as the first/primary OS that'll use the binding.

As far as merging it, this patch should probably go through the core DT
tree, perhaps in a topic branch so that e.g. Tegra an MVEBU can merge it
in to apply your subsequent patches (or we can just wait until the next
kernel release to merge them in).

Do I need to include anyone for this patch to be applied or can go
through Dmitry's input git branch?

I am uncomfortable that we are duplicating the whole list of keycodes
here. Do you think we could split keycodes and other event codes from
include/uapi/linux/input.h into include/uapi/linux/input-events.h and
unclude it directly into DTS?

Yes, it will be very much possible to split this but I am not sure it is 
allowed to include the header in DTS file which is not inside 
include/dt-bindings.
If there is no limitation/restriction then we can split this adn amke 
single header for key code which will be used by code and dts.
