Ah yes, I just grepped for 'debounce' in am* and omap*. I guess
that typo has been copied over from DT to DT. I'm tempted to spin
a patch correcting the typo, but I have no knowledge of those
boards or HW to test with. Obviously no-one has complained about
the 5ms vs 50ms debounce so far, so maybe 50ms isn't the correct
number in the first place?

Just to make sure I don't misunderstand, would you like me to:
A) put in a dev_err()
B) put in a dev_info()
C) leave it as-is without any message
?
I can spin a v2 as early as Monday, depending on the results of discussion
on the second patch.
