If the device is a detachable (and therefore lacks full keyboard), we may still want to load this driver because the device might have some other buttons or switches (e.g. volume and power buttons or a tablet mode switch). In such case we do not want to register the "main" keyboard device to allow userspace detect when the detachable keyboard is disconnected and adjust the system behavior for the tablet mode. Originally it was suggested to simply skip keyboard registration if row and columns properties didn't exist, but that approach did not convey the intent strongly enough and also had a slight problem for migrating existing DTBs without updating the kernel first, so it was decided to introduce new google,cros-ec-keyb-switches to explicitly mark devices that only have axillary buttons and switches.

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.
