This linux,code binding prop is searched in the SCMI device node, BUT
your BB< protocol binding does NOT mention it at all.

I suppose you cannot use std SystemPower protocol and scmi_power_control
existent upstream driver because you are configuring the event keycode that
is associated with your button press event using linux,code DT properies
looked up above, right ? (which you need to define somewhere as said
above..)

I was thinking that maybe handling events associated with generic button-presses
could be done via some std SCMI protocols like PINCTRL/GPIO (IF IT HAD NOTIFICATIONS)
and some custom SCMI gpio-keys driver in the future (not now clearly :D)...thoughts ?

Thanks,
