Hi, as far as I can see, gpio_keys_polled.c currently doesn't support DT initialization. Is there a plan in this regard? Rather than duplicating the respective code from gpio_keys.c, maybe gpio_keys.c could be changed to support a polled mode also? This way, gpio_keys_polled.c could be removed.
We had several attempts at gpio_keys and adding a polled mode and we ended up with the driver getting too complex and having unwanted dependencies. At the moment I believe that the split between gpio_keys.c and gpio_keys_polled.c is justified even it it may lead to certain code duplication. However, if DT bindings are really the same we could split them off into a separate library module used by both drivers. Thanks. -- Dmitry
