I agree, here we should use dashes, not underscores. So "gpio-keys" instead of "gpio_keys".

I agree.

I may be wrong but I think that if the unit-address has no meaning and is not used, then it should be removed.

By the way, I think the warning message is wrong. It should be _address_ instead of name: "Node has a unit address, but no reg property".
