But i'm also a little bit concerned by the "unique number" and this
ending up in /dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio_keys.3-event. Is this
path supposed to be stable? This unique number is not stable. An
unwitting change to the DT could cause its value to change. Do we need
to make it stable?
One possibility would be to create an artificial bus in DT for all
gpio-keys devices, use #address-cells=<1> and #size-cells=<0>
for it, and give each device a unique reg property. Not sure if that
would be considered an elegant solution though.
Hi Arnd

Can i imply from your answer that you think 

/dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio_keys.3-event

should be stable?

A quick look at udev rules seems to suggestion this is an issue for
input/gpio-keys and maybe audio and video if there is a top level DT
property collecting the different sub devices together for ASOC and
V4L.

Thanks
