When platform keymap is not supplied to matrix_keypad_build_keymap() and device tree support is enabled, try locating specified property and load keymap from it. If property name is not defined, try using "linux,keymap". Based on earlier patch by Viresh Kumar [off-list ref]I think this series looks mostly OK. A few comments below. We don't actually have the KBC driver hooked up on any boards yet, so I can't actually test this yet. How will the linux,fn-keymap handling work? It looks like this code is allocating a keymap data structure with one additional row to represent fn-not-pressed vs. fn-pressed.No, it loads 2x rows (therefore giving you twice original keymap size).
Yes, I mean an extra row signal, so therefore twice as many rows.

I assume this will work without issue even though the second half is not filled in. Won't this allow the linux,keymap property entries to pass validation "if (row >= rows)" for one more row than it should?Maybe... I think we should revisit this when you actually have linux,fn-keymap. Probably will need to export matrix_keypad_parse_
Would it be better to just drop the support for the linux,fn-keymap property, until the full support is there? That wouldn't lose any functionality, but would avoid this potential error-checking issue.
