Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for your prompt review.

In mt6779_keypad_pdrv_probe(), we call
* matrix_keypad_parse_properties() which requires keypad,num-rows and keypad,num-cols.
* matrix_keypad_build_keymap() which uses linux,keymap

Therefore, all properties from matrix-keymap.yaml are
required by the mt6779-keypad driver.

In v2, I will add the above justification and also add all 3 properties
in the "required" list.

Initially, I did not do this because from a dts/code perspective it seemed
interesting to split out SoC specific keyboard node vs board specific key configuration:
* [PATCH v1 5/6] arm64: dts: mediatek: mt8183: add keyboard node # SoC specific
* [PATCH v1 6/6] arm64: dts: mediatek: mt8183-pumpkin: add keypad support # board specific

What would be the recommend approach for above?
I see at least 2:
* "move the whole keyboard node into the board file (mt8183-pumpkin.dts)" even if it generates
  duplication between boards using the same SoC.
* "add a "dummy keymap,row,cols" properties in the soc node which can be overriden in board file.
  For example, use rows and cols = 0 which would have the driver early exit.

Thanks,
Mattijs
