Right - the LPC32xx key scanner always has a square matrix design (#rows
== #cols), but I'm fine with re-using properties "keypad,num-rows" and
"keypad,num-columns" instead of "nxp,matrix-size".

Besides, I still have "nxp,debounce-delay-ms" and "nxp,scan-delay-ms" -
do I need to change this to some default properties I don't know of (yet)?

And: I re-used the DT subnodes strategy for the keycodes ("linux,code")
of the samsung-keypad driver, see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/samsung-keypad.txt - can I
continue using it?

Thanks in advance,

Roland
