Ok. My only concern is that means we have to check for both compatibles
which is not really how DT compatible strings work. The compatible
string usually finds the more specific compatible that is first in the
list of compatibles in DT. You're essentially proposing that the
switches compatible could be first or last, the order doesn't matter.

If that isn't a problem then we can roll in a revert of commit
4352e23a7ff2 ("Input: cros-ec-keyb - only register keyboard if
rows/columns exist") and leave the rest of this patch alone and it will
implement this logic.
