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:-)
