Ok using error on all similar cases.

Makes sense, thanks.

Yes, forgot to return ret just below. Not adding logs as in most cases
matrix_keypad_build_keymap() will already print some logs. OK with that?

No, because matrix_keypad_parse_keymap() is using input_dev->dev.parent
and this device will not have any associated device tree node. It should
use input_dev->dev.parent->parent to get correct values.

There is a discussion ongoing about using device_set_of_node_from_dev(),
so the MFD child device reuse the node of the parent. But I tried to
avoid using it here, as I was able to come with another solution.
Discussion is in the thread of the pinctrl driver (patch #3).

Another solution would be to modify matrix_keypad_parse_keymap(),
allowing to pass a custom device. But again, I tried to avoid doing this
modification just for my own need.

Ok with all other comments.

Thanks for your review.
