Some matrix keypad drivers can support different numbers of rows and columns. Add a generic binding for these. Also define properties for the repeat rate, to allow a sane baseline to be set up for the driver. Implementation note: In order to implement this binding in the kernel, we will need to modify matrix_keypad_() to look up the number of rows and cols in the keymap. Perhaps this could be done by passing 0 for these parameters? Many of the parameters can already be set to NULL. Ick. For the key repeat feature, we need to set this after the input device is registered. So we would need to add a matrix_keypad_setup_input() or similar to be called by the driver after input_register_device(). I am less keen on that idea, and less again on the alternative of perhaps matrix_keypad_register_device() which does input_register_device() and then sets up the key repeat. Thoughts?
