I do not think this is correct. If devm_get_gpiod_from_child(dev,
"gpio_keys_polled", child) retruns -EPROBE_DEFER we'll try
devm_get_gpiod_from_child(dev, NULL, child). If that returns some other
error we'll fail probing entire driver.

Did I mention how *I HATE* the -EPROBE_DEFER (the error that is not an
error)?

Thanks.
