There is way, something like this ..
key_C {
keypad,row = <2>;
keypad,column = <1>;
linux,code = <46>;
};
But its not the preferred approach mainly because of the fact that
it is too big. So suppose, if we have 100 key codes, we will have
400 -500 lines of code in our dts file for the mapping only.
If no, does DT allow comments so I can look at a dts and see which
keycodes are mapped instead of having to dig up the sources?
Yes, comments are allowed and seems to be better option to do.
