The patch set doesn't introduce that behaviour, but merely describes it in more detail. It doesn't even introduce the interrupt discussion into the binding document in a strict sense, but expands on it in the hope for improved usability of the binding after the motivation became more obvious. What this part of the series does is to introduce polling mode as an alternative to the interrupt driven detection of changes, to improve reliability of change detection in the presence of multi key presses.
To me, this sounds more like something for Documentation/input/ rather than DT binding. ...
I suggest to have the "meta-discussions" on which documentation belongs where and on where to put the GPIO polarity and on whether backward compatibility needs to be kept or may be broken, in a single spot, to not have several parallel discussions in multiple subthreads. Is the cover letter or the first patch the most appropriate message to respond to with this though in mind? Or don't you mind if several replies for different parts of the patch set discuss similar "background" aspects of the same series?
I don't really have a preference myself; feel free to pick whichever patch or response you want to continue discussing, and reply to that; I'll just reply to whatever sub-thread/... you choose:-)
