Eventually that sounds doable, but for the time being I want to merely
add this new compatible in front of the original compatible so that
updated DTBs still work with older kernels, i.e. the switches still get
registered because the driver works with the original
google,cros-ec-keyb compatible. Given that none of the properties are
required for google,cros-ec-keyb it didn't seem necessary to make having
the google,cros-ec-keyb-switches compatible deny the existence of the
matrix-keymap properties.
