Actually, there is: with gpio-keys-polled we take a "snapshot" of the
entire device state, so we know when to generate a 0 event (the example
we have a device with several GPIOs with values assigned 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..
values, when one of the gpios is active we generate event with given
value, when all are inactive we generate 0 event). This does not work
for interrupt-only driven device.

We support "interrupt-only" mode where we do not have GPIO, so for
"gpio-keys" we need either interrupts or gpios or both, and for polled
we must have gpios (and I guess we simply ignore interrupts if they are
specified).

Does this binding manages to enforce this?

Thanks.
