If the ChromeOS board is a detachable, this cros-ec-keyb device won't
have a matrix keyboard but it may have some button switches, e.g. volume
buttons and power buttons. The driver still registers a keyboard though
and that leads to userspace confusion around where the keyboard is.
We tried to work around this in commit 4352e23a7ff2 ("Input:
cros-ec-keyb - only register keyboard if rows/columns exist") but that
led to another problem where removing the rows/columns properties breaks
the binding[1]. Technically before that commit the rows/columns
properties were required, otherwise the driver would fail to probe.
Removing the properties from devicetrees makes the driver fail to probe
unless the corresponding driver patch is present. Furthermore, this
makes requiring matrix keyboard properties for devices that really have
a keyboard impossible because the compatible drives the schema and now
the properties are optional.
Add a more specific compatible for this type of device that indicates to
the OS that there are only switches and no matrix keyboard present. If
only the switches compatible is present, then the matrix keyboard
properties are denied. Otherwise, as long as the "google,cros-ec-keyb"
copmatible is present, the matrix keyboard properties are required.
This more clearly describes what the driver was expecting, i.e. that the
kernel driver would fail to probe if the linux,{rows,cols,keymap}
properties are missing and the "google,cros-ec-keyb" compatible is
present. If the new "google,cros-ec-keyb-switches" compatible is present
then the matrix keyboard properties are likely to be ignored by any
modern driver, but they're still allowed per the binding if
"google,cros-ec-keyb" is present to conform to the original binding and
to keep the driver probing when used with newer DTBs.
This lets us gracefully migrate devices that only have switches over to
the new compatible string and properly enforce the "google,cros-ec-keyb"
binding at the same time. Eventually we'll be able to use only
"google,cros-ec-keyb-switches" or "google,cros-ec-keyb" when the driver
support has baked for a release or two, but we'll always support the
combined compatible list so that DTBs can be mixed and matched with
kernels, no dependency between the two binaries is required.
