Use the key-matrix layer to interpret key scan information from the EC
and inject input based on the FDT-supplied key map. This driver registers
itself with the ChromeOS EC driver to perform communications.

Additional FDT bindings are provided to specify rows/columns and the
auto-repeat information.

+ChromeOS EC Keyboard
+
+Google's ChromeOS EC Keyboard is a simple matrix keyboard implemented on
+a separate EC (Embedded Controller) device. It provides a message for

reading +key scans from the EC. These are then converted into keycodes
for processing +by the kernel.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: "google,cros-ec-keyb"
+- google,key-rows: Number of keyboard rows (must be <= 8)
+- google,key-columns: Number of keyboard columns (must be <= 13)
+- google,repeat-delay-ms: Key repeat delay in milliseconds
+- google,repeat-rate-ms: Key repeat rate in milliseconds

Hmmm, these should probably be in a common binding. Take a look at
the other input bindings and make a proposal for properties to add to
matrix-keymap.txt.

Actually these are not essentia for bringup and can be set from userspace,
so I'd say simply drop them.

Aren't they needed for a working keyboard? If so, I would really think
they should be set correctly without userspace intervention.

I am sorry if I was unclear, but I was actually talking about the last
2: repeat-delay-ms and repeat-rate-ms. Input core has I believe sane
defaults (250 msec delay, 33 cps autorepeat) and user can adjust if
other rate is preferred.

(resending due to mailing problem)

I seems like I should remove these two, then.

It would be nice if we could keep these parameters so that the
keyboard doesn't require user-space set up to work, but I understand
and agree they are not essential. Regarding Grant's request to come up
with a common binding, if I remove these then that is not needed,
right?

Regards,
Simon

Thanks.
