IMO, it is related as it's the new usecase (of only using the gpios) that
trigger the interrupt not being required anymore. No, I don't think we can use
the keypad without the interrupt line.
I guess (as you suggested before) we should check if one of the rows/columns
property is present and in that case still make 'interrupts' required.
Agree it should be better explained.
