Then it is a specific Bosch device, isn't it? If it is, you should have
vendor prefixes - to the file name and compatible. If it is not, then
"mt" is irrelevant here because it is Bosch product name.

Which is not an answer to my concerns and still a no. Just use the
flags. What's the point to code it like:
line-gpios = <&gpio 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
gpio-activelow;
?

Or even worse:
line-gpios = <&gpio 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
gpio-activelow;

With such coding, enabled is 0 or 1? Which flag is correct?

No, just use existing flags, don't duplicate standard Linux stuff.

Just customize the original keypad, don't duplicate features. Again it's
not the answer to my concerns. You implement a driver for device with a
smaller set of features, so there should be no problem in merging it
into original driver (which supports more features).

Best regards,
Krzysztof
