This description seems wrong in the case of only having a GPIO.

Also, a GPIO only implies polled mode because if the GPIO is interrupt 
capable, 'interrupts' should be required. For gpio-keys, we split the 
compatible strings in this case. I leave it to you if you want to make 
it more explicit.

anyOf:
  - required: [ interrupts ]
  - required: [ gpios ]
