Hi Dmitry,

These all look good to me. Unless there is an objection from the
platform maintainers, I'd suggest you can send them directly to
soc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for inclusion in 7.3, or alternatively
keep them together with any other gpio-keys patches you have in
the input tree if that lets you finish off the platform_data
support in the driver more quickly.

As you probably saw, I have sent the patches to mark all these
board files as deprecated in 7.3, with the plan to finally
remove them in 7.4. I don't think there are any users left,
so it probably doesn't matter either way. 

Are you planning to also resend
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240819045813.2154642-14-dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx/ ?

I think that is the only Arm board file we'll have left
in 7.4 using gpio_keys.
