Same as if I am using device tree, or ACPI, etc. I am not changing how
labeling is done, so whatever rules were before adding swnode support
they will be used with swnodes.
With the hack patch to gpio-keys.c below and device using the following
DT fragment I see the following from gpioinfo:
gpio_keys: gpio-keys {
status = "okay";
compatible = "gpio-keys";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pen_eject>;
pen_insert: pen-insert {
label = "Pen Insert";
/* Insert = low, eject = high */
/* gpios = <&pio 18 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; */
linux,code = <SW_PEN_INSERTED>;
linux,input-type = <EV_SW>;
wakeup-event-action = <EV_ACT_DEASSERTED>;
wakeup-source;
};
};
Just "gpios" (con_id == NULL):
line 18: "PEN_EJECT_OD" "Pen Insert" input active-low [used]
With "key-gpios" (con_id == "key") it is exactly the same:
line 18: "PEN_EJECT_OD" "Pen Insert" input active-low [used]
Ah, I guess you wonder how it will look like if we do not pass this
"label" into devm_fwnode_gpiod_get() and instead use NULL?
line 18: "PEN_EJECT_OD" "?" input active-low [used]
If the driver used gpiod_get() or similar it would either have the
"con_id" label or device name (produced with dev_name(dev) if con_id is
NULL. Still, not changes from using swnodes compared to ACPI or DT.

Where do you think it should go? Not sure if I want to pollute
property.h, I guess linux/gpio/matchine.h will need to include
property.h?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think we are moving into extreme bikeshedding direction
here.

I agree, the rest of the code should be fixed ;) I'll put it on my TODO
list.
I gave my argument above already: swnodes should not only be useful to
add missing properties, but also allow fixing up existing ones. If I
implemented what you are suggesting then I would not be able to create
this concise example and would need to model entire DT node for GPIO
keys.
Thanks.
