If the ChromeOS board is a detachable, this cros-ec-keyb device won't have a matrix keyboard but it may have some button switches, e.g. volume buttons and power buttons. The driver still registers a keyboard though and that leads to userspace confusion around where the keyboard is. We tried to work around this by only registering the keyboard device when rows/columns properties were specified for the device, but that led to another problem where removing the rows/columns properties breaks the existing binding. Technically before that commit the rows/columns properties were required, otherwise the driver would fail to probe. Removing the properties from devicetrees makes the driver fail to probe unless the corresponding driver patch is present. Furthermore, this makes requiring matrix keyboard properties for devices that really have a keyboard impossible because the compatible drives the schema and now the properties are optional. Add a more specific compatible for this type of device that indicates to the OS that there are only switches and no matrix keyboard present.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
