Yes, but we also need to write generic debounce handling into the gpiolib, so it doesn't matter if the GPIO driver can or cannot handle this itself. Some hardware has the capability to debounce lines in *hardware*. Right now a call to gpiod_set_debounce() will fail unless the hardware has a debounce option. What we should really do is make gpiod_set_debounce() always work, put the debounce value into the gpio_desc, and move some logic similar to what exists in drivers/input/keyboard/gpio_keys.c into the gpiolib, then get rid of any local implementations like in gpio_keys. Then we can rely on the gpiolib handling this at all times, and also to get the debounce config from DT. Dmitry, opinions on this? Anyone up for implementing the timer in gpiolib and moving the keyboard driver over to using the gpiolib debounce set?
