AFAIR, these ROHM PMICs (bd718[15, 27, 28, 37, 47, 50, 78, 85]) all 
provide a 'button IRQ', from a power button. (Or, couple of IRQs but 
let's skip the details) The gpio-keys is used to send the KEY_POWER 
event when IRQ is detected.

The IRQ comes from the PMIC, and the regmap_irq chip provided by the MFD 
provides it. This IRQ information is delivered to the gpio-keys from the 
MFD driver via platform data. That's basically what these "button" 
structs are here for. No GPIO line information (only the IRQ number) is 
needed to be delivered to the gpio-keys. This problematic assignment:

 > +#ifdef CONFIG_GPIOLIB_LEGACY
 >   	.gpio = -1,
 > +#endif

is only needed to invalidate the gpio information so that the gpio-keys 
wont use it, only the IRQ.

As such, this patch seems Ok to me, you can treat this as an ack :) 
This, however made me ponder following - is this the tight way to handle 
the power-button IRQ? I don't see any other MFD devices doing this in 
same way, although I am pretty sure there are other PMICs with similar 
power-button IRQ...

I see for example the "drivers/mfd/rt5120.c" to invoke 
"drivers/input/misc/rt5120-pwrkey.c" instead of using the gpio-keys. 
This, however, feels like code duplication to me. I'd rather kept using 
the gpio-keys, but seeing:

git grep KEY_POWER drivers/mfd/
drivers/mfd/rohm-bd71828.c:     .code = KEY_POWER,
drivers/mfd/rohm-bd718x7.c:     .code = KEY_POWER,

makes me wonder if there is more widely used (better) way?

Yours,
