IIUC, the array is currently a fixed size (based on the set of pins
Supported by the KBC), hence that won't work; there's an entry for each
pin saying which row/column it is.

However, I suppose if we were to change the structure of the pdata to be:

struct tegra_kbc_pin_cfg {
    bool is_row;
    u8 row_col_id;
    u8 pin_id;
};

Then struct tegra_kbc_platform_data could indeed have a pointer to a
variable-sized array of these, which would avoid the "en" member.
