Hello Fabien,
I agree that all MT6359 PMICs do support pmic-keys, but not all devices using
this PMIC have physical keys connected to that.

Besides, even if all of them did, it wouldn't be guaranteed that key-0 would be
always KEY_POWER, as much as it wouldn't be guaranteed that key-1 would be always
KEY_HOME.

In my opinion, it *is* correct to add mediatek,mt6359-keys to the PMIC dtsi, but
you should do that without declaring any key, hence it's enough to do:

		mt6359_keys: mtk-pmic-keys {
			compatible = "mediatek,mt6359-keys";
		};

... then, any machine that *actually does* have these keys connected and manageable
in Linux should declare its own keys in its own dts/dtsi.

Of course, this means that you'll have to remove your input.h inclusion as well.

Regards,
Angelo
