Not really. There is no device like "gpio-keys". Each key is a separate,
independent device. They are no grouped, they do no share anything. From
Linux perspective they share, but on hardware - zero common pieces,
independent devices.

And this is reflected in interrupts property. Individual devices
generating interrupts - so each key connected over GPIO - has interrupts
property.

Best regards,
