I mixed up driver versus device (hardware). Sorry about that.

For successful key detection, the hardware (called MediaTek keypad) 
requires that we program rows/columns via the KP_SEL register.
So num-rows and num-cols are valid properties for this device.

The MediaTek keypad has a set of bits representing keys, from KEY0 to KEY77. 
These keys are organized in a 8x8 hardware matrix.
Therefore, linux,keymap is also a valid property for this device.

Indeed. So the split I send in v1 is "valid", from a device(hardware)
point of view.
In that case i'll not make the properties from matrix-keymap.yaml
*required* in v2.

Thanks again for your feedback.
