If omap4_keypad_parse_dt() does not return 0 (zero) in
omap4_keypad_probe() we will leak the memory we allocated for
'keypad_data' with kzalloc() when we return and the variable goes out
of scope.
How about using devm_kzalloc() instead which will take care of freeing
the memory on detach?
Perhaps. I'm not (yet) familiar with how that function works, so I had 
not considered it. I'll look into it.
