Re: [PATCH 0/7] ARM: orion: convert legacy gpio-keys to software nodes

This patch series converts Marvell Orion and MV78xx0 board setup files
from legacy platform data to software nodes with the eventual goal of
dropping support for legacy gpio API and platform data from gpio-keys
driver.

The series registers static software nodes for Orion GPIO controllers
during gpiochip registration in orion_gpio_init(), allowing board setups
to reference GPIO controllers via PROPERTY_ENTRY_GPIO(). It then converts
gpio-keys setups to software nodes across MV78xx0 and Orion5x boards
(Buffalo WXL, DNS-323, MV2120, Net2Big, QNAP TS-209, and TS-409).

Hi Dmitry,

These all look good to me. Unless there is an objection from the
platform maintainers, I'd suggest you can send them directly to
soc@lists.linux.dev for inclusion in 7.3, or alternatively
keep them together with any other gpio-keys patches you have in
the input tree if that lets you finish off the platform_data
support in the driver more quickly.

As you probably saw, I have sent the patches to mark all these
board files as deprecated in 7.3, with the plan to finally
remove them in 7.4. I don't think there are any users left,
so it probably doesn't matter either way. 

Are you planning to also resend
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240819045813.2154642-14-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com/ (local) ?

I think that is the only Arm board file we'll have left
in 7.4 using gpio_keys.
