This patch adds ST Keyscan driver to use the keypad hw a subset of ST boards provide. Specific board setup will be put in the given dt. Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Condorelli <redacted> Signed-off-by: Gabriel Fernandez <redacted>Are you sure these are in the correct order? What is the history of this commit?quoted
--- .../devicetree/bindings/input/st-keypad.txt | 50 ++++This should be submitted as a seperate patch.Why do we have such requirement? To me it would make more sense to add binding documentation in the same commit as the code that uses these bindings.
I'm inclined to agree with you and that's actually how we used to do it, but a decision was made by the DT guys at one of the Kernel Summits to submit Documentation as a separate patch.

+ + error = matrix_keypad_parse_of_params(dev, &pdata->num_out_pads, + &pdata->num_in_pads); + if (error) { + dev_err(dev, "failed to parse keypad params\n"); + return error;Nit: It's pretty unusual to use this for a standard error handling variable. Consider 'ret' or 'err' as a replacement.I like "error", in fact there are a lot of these in input. I use "error" for data that is only returned from error path and "retval" when the same variable is returned in both success and error paths.
If that's your preference then I'm cool with it too. Scrap my comment. [...] -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
