[PATCH v4 0/4] input: add GPIO-based charlieplex keypad

[Hugo Villeneuve]

From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@dimonoff.com>

Hello,
this patch series add a new GPIO charlieplex keypad driver.

The first two patches simply commonize two properties that are present in
a few bindings, so that the actual patches for the charlieplex keypad driver
can reuse them instead of also redefining them.

I have tested the driver on a custom board with a Solidrun RZ/G2LC SOM
with three charlieplex keyboards, all connected thru a single PCAL6416 I2C GPIO
expander.

Link: [v2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260213171431.2228814-1-hugo@hugovil.com/
Link: [v3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260225155409.612478-1-hugo@hugovil.com/

Changes for v4:
- Fix indentation in comments (Andy)
- Add missing includes (Andy)
- Remove OF dependency (Andy/Dmitry)
- Uniformize return code variables to "err" (Andy/Dmitry)
- Change signed iterator to unsigned and move within loop (Andy)
- Remove unused platform_set_drvdata() (Andy)
- Fixed typo in cover letter PCAL6416 (Geert)
- Changed name in bindings example (Geert)
- Added pull resistors to bindings doc and example (Geert)
- Add debounce-delay-ms common property
- Add settling-time-us common property

Changes for v3:
- Add ASCII diagram in bindings, and reference to it in example
- Reorder properties alphabetically
- Add patch to define common input settling-time-us property
- Add patch to define common input debounce-delay-ms property

Changes for v2:
- Fix yamllint error for example
- Remove unused debug variable (nkeys)
- Remove support for custom linux,no-autorepeat DT property
- Remove support for custom gpio-activelow DT property

Thank you.

[PATCH v4 1/4] dt-bindings: input: add debounce-delay-ms common property

[Hugo Villeneuve]

From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@dimonoff.com>

A few bindings are already defining a debounce-delay-ms property, so
add it to the input binding to reduce redundant redefines.

+description: |
+  The charlieplex keypad supports N^2)-N different key combinations (where N is
+  the number of I/O lines). Key presses and releases are detected by configuring
+  only one line as output at a time, and reading other line states. This process
+  is repeated for each line. Diodes are required to ensure current flows in only
+  one direction between any pair of pins, as well as pull-up or pull-down
+  resistors on all I/O lines.
+  This mechanism doesn't allow to detect simultaneous key presses.
+
+  Wiring example for 3 lines keyboard with 6 switches and 3 diodes (pull-up/down
+  resistors not shown but needed on L0, L1 and L2):

[PATCH v4 4/4] Input: charlieplex_keypad: add GPIO charlieplex keypad

[Hugo Villeneuve]

From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@dimonoff.com>

Add support for GPIO-based charlieplex keypad, allowing to control
N^2-N keys using N GPIO lines.

Reuse matrix keypad keymap to simplify, even if there is no concept
of rows and columns in this type of keyboard.

Can be like

Hmm... Don't you want to give it an index?

(In case you go this direction, see the kasprintf_strarray() or

Does it make any difference given practical limits on nlines?

Maybe not, but might lead to interesting bugs in the future in case if used in

Whether it is GPIOs or not depends on the implementation. Just drop 
'GPIO' and replace 'GPIOs' with 'lines'.
