The LPC32xx key scanner hardware is always configured with a square
matrix (rows == columns). So I had the choice to force "keypad,num-rows"
== "keypad,num-columns" (as done currently) to show potential error to
the DTS/DTB provider, or ignore problems here and use
max("keypad,num-rows", "keypad,num-columns") for actual hardware setup.

(You can and will leave out unconnected keys in the keymap anyway.)

So do you think we should change my current approach here?

Thanks in advance,

Roland
