If the device is a detachable, we may still probe this device because
there are some button switches, e.g. volume buttons and power buttons,
registered by this driver. Let's allow the device node to be missing row
and column device properties to indicate that the keyboard matrix
shouldn't be registered. This removes an input device on Trogdor devices
such as Wormdingler that don't have a matrix keyboard, but still have
power and volume buttons. That helps userspace understand there isn't
a keyboard present when the detachable keyboard is disconnected.

I tried to use mkbp info to query the number of rows and columns, but my
EC firmware doesn't have commit 8505881ed0b9 ("mkbp: Separate MKBP_INFO
host command from the keyboard driver") so it always returns 8 and 13
for the rows and columns. Sigh. With updated firmware we could query it,
or we could rely on DT like we do already.

Originally I was setting the properties to 0, but
matrix_keypad_parse_properties() spits out an error message in that case
and so it seems better to delete the properties and check for their
existence instead. Another alternative would be to change the compatible
to be "google,cros-ec-keyb-switches" or something that indicates there
are only switches and no matrix keyboard.

I do wonder if there will be any unintentional side effects here.
Specifically, even though there is truly no keyboard here, I wonder if
anything in the system is relying on the EC to simulate keypresses
even on tablets where the keyboard isn't actually there...

OK, I guess not. While I think it _used_ to be the case that you could
simulate keyboard inputs from the EC console even for devices w/out a
keyboard, it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I just tried it and
nothing made it through to the AP.

Seems reasonable to me:

Why are we abusing device_property_read_bool() for properties that are
not flags instead of using device_property_present()?

Because I wrote this using DT APIs first and wasn't aware that
device_property_present() was a thing. I'll resend it with that API
usage.
