This should be handled in a common way. Not sure if there's anything 
existing for alternate key maps. Child nodes of alternate maps would 
scale better than new property name for every alternate map. Or you 
could make linux,keymap contain multiple maps (e.g. 2x XxY entries) 

matrix-keymap.yaml proposes doing exactly what I do here:

  Some users of this binding might choose to specify secondary keymaps for
  cases where there is a modifier key such as a Fn key. Proposed names
  for said properties are "linux,fn-keymap" or with another descriptive
  word for the modifier other from "Fn".

The only other reference to linux,fn-keymap is in the nvidia,tegra20-kbc
binding, even though that driver doesn't use this property. Instead, what the
tegra-kbc.c code does is double the number of rows to include the Fn layer:

   if (kbc->keymap_data && kbc->use_fn_map)
           keymap_rows *= 2;

(except that use_fn_map is set nowhere, so this is dead code). Using extra rows
for the Fn layer seems a bit magic to me, but if it is documented, I suppose it
is fine.

So there is not much in the way of prior art.

Or if the map doesn't change, just put it in the driver.

The keys are removable, so technically it can change, but maybe that's better
handled by userspace than in the DTB? On the other hand, from Dmitry's comment,
it sounds like he would prefer leaving the map out of the driver.

Samuel

Referencing individual properties should be avoided.
