+ChromeOS EC Keyboard
+
+Google's ChromeOS EC Keyboard is a simple matrix keyboard
implemented on
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
+a separate EC (Embedded Controller) device. It provides a message
for
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
reading +key scans from the EC. These are then converted into
keycodes
quoted
quoted
quoted
quoted
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,
quoted
quoted
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.
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.

I have no problem keeping the properties, but it does look like
something applicable to all users, not just this driver.

I dropped keyboard repeat from the common binding and resent. If that
goes in then I can try again later when Dmitry is on holiday :-), or I
can put it just in our own driver. I don't mind either way, so someone
should let me know which is best.
