+- compatible: Should be "gpio-matix-keypad"There's a typo there. Given that compatible value, shouldn't the file be named gpio-matrix-keypad.txt then?Stephen, Thanks for the comments. I agree and I have same thing in my mind but the driver name is matrix-keypad.c. And I think we have to change the driver file names as well. (drivers/../matrix_keypad.c, linux/input/ matrix_keypad.h).
I don't think there's any requirement that the Linux driver source filename needs to match the DT binding compatible value in any way. Given the bindings are OS-agnostic, naming the binding file based on the compatible value seems better than naming the binding based on the Linux driver name when there's a discrepancy. I see you've renamed the file in V3, so everything's fine.
