Hello,
this patch series add a new GPIO charlieplex keypad driver.

The first two patches simply commonize two properties that are present in
a few bindings, so that the actual patches for the charlieplex keypad driver
can reuse them instead of also redefining them.

I have tested the driver on a custom board with a Solidrun RZ/G2LC SOM
with three charlieplex keyboards, all connected thru a single PCAL6416 I2C GPIO
expander.
