I fail to understand your point - could you please be more specific ?

I do not agree.  We want the binding to be generic and not tied
specifically to the keyreset functionality.  As such 'input-keyset' or
'input-keychord' are more appropriate.

The idea is to offer flexibility.  The same kernel can be used on
multiple device.  As such DT information should be prioritised over a
__weak symbol, otherwise it defeats the purpose.

Once the system is loaded user can still configure the keyreset
specifics by using the /sysfs interface.

The documentation describing the binding is in patch 1/2.  You suggest
that I add the documentation in this patch too ?
