I'm sceptic.

That doesn't sound like "general purpose input output" at all.

It sounds like special purpose, for a mute button.

Does it use IRQ? I would recommend implementing
drivers/input/keyboard/syscon-keys.c in the same vein
as drivers/leds/leds-syscon.c so you can avoid indirection
through GPIO for no good reason at all.

I already have other good uses for such a generic
input driver.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
