Hi Dmitry,
Thank you very much for the patch!
I gave it a shot and it seems you forgot to add the input-poller.h file
to the patch.. it does not compile on my side :(

After reading this I am not really sure what else needs to be done
to test/use the poller. I suspect I need to modify the input device
driver (mpr121_touchkey.c in my case) like this:

If the interrupt gpio is not provided in DT, the device driver probe
function should:
- not request the threaded interrupt
- call input_setup_polling and provide it with poll_fn
Can the mpr_touchkey_interrupt function be used as is for this
purpose? The only problem I see is it returns IRQ_HANDLED.

- set the poll interval + min/max interval
- register the input device as usual (input_register_device)
- What about the device_init_wakeup? It does not make sense for
polling I think.

Just nitpicking - I also ran checkpatch.pl on the patch and it spits
out some warnings. I am not sure whether some of those should not
be fixed.

Thanks, Michal
