HI Dmitry,
Thanks for quick review.

I will take care of your comment in next version. Some have my answer.

Why is this change? As far as I can see tegra_kbd_setup_keymap() never
returns positive values.

Ok, mostly errors are in negative and hence this change, I will revert it and will keep original.

Neither request_irq(). BTW, why not devm_request_irq?

I understand from Mark B on different patches that using devm_request_irq() can create race condition when removing device. Interrupt can occur when device resource release is in process and so it can cause isr call which can use the freed pointer. devm_request_irq() should be avoided.


Thanks,
Laxman
