ChromeOS EC Keyboard

Google's ChromeOS EC Keyboard is a simple matrix keyboard implemented on
a separate EC (Embedded Controller) device. It provides a message for reading
key scans from the EC. These are then converted into keycodes for processing
by the kernel.

This binding is based on matrix-keymap.txt and extends/modifies it as follows:

Required properties:
- compatible: "google,cros-ec-keyb"

Optional properties:
- google,needs-ghost-filter: True to enable a ghost filter for the matrix
keyboard. This is recommended if the EC does not have its own logic or
hardware for this.


Example:

cros-ec-keyb {
	compatible = "google,cros-ec-keyb";
	keypad,num-rows = <8>;
	keypad,num-columns = <13>;
	google,needs-ghost-filter;
	/*
	 * Keymap entries take the form of 0xRRCCKKKK where
	 * RR=Row CC=Column KKKK=Key Code
	 * The values below are for a US keyboard layout and
	 * are taken from the Linux driver. Note that the
	 * 102ND key is not used for US keyboards.
	 */
