So how do you know if that's the case? It seems to be quite normal to
just connect mechanical switches to GPIO pins.

If you are trying to fix a particular issue you encountered, please
describe that here, and say how (or at least that) the patch fixes it.

And I would suggest to treat port G and port A differently. If you
need a lower debounce threshold for port A, you can apply a DT overlay
in U-Boot, just for your board.

I see where you are coming from, this is really an unnecessary warning
message. However this message should be really removed from the kernel
instead of adding some rather meaningless value here.
The current DT spec marks this property as required, though, so I added
a PR there to get this fixed:
https://github.com/devicetree-org/devicetree-specification/pull/61
Once this is through, we can try to remove the kernel message.

I don't think we need this for every core?

Is that supposed to be <micro> in UTF-8? It seems to have got lost in
translation, or is that just me?

As mentioned above, I am not so sure this is generic enough to put it
here for PA. And what is the significance of "1 us", in particular? Is
that just the smallest value?

Cheers,
Andre
