The top-row keys in a keyboard usually have dual functionalities.
E.g. A function key "F1" is also an action key "Browser back".
Therefore, when an application receives an action key code from
a top-row key press, the application needs to know how to correlate
the action key code with the function key code and do the conversion
whenever necessary.
Since the userpace already knows the key scanlines (row/column)
associated with a received key code. Essentially, the userspace only
needs a mapping between the key row/column and the matching physical
location in the top row.
So, enhance the cros-ec-keyb driver to create such a mapping
and expose it to userspace in the form of a function_row_physmap
attribute. The attribute would be a space separated ordered list of
row/column codes, for the keys in the function row, in a left-to-right
order.
The attribute will only be present when the device has a custom design
for the top-row keys.

Changes in v6:
- add to Documentation/ABI
- update cros_ec_keyb_register_matrix() to improve readability
Changes in v5:
- change the data type for a few local variables
- update function_row_physmap_show() and cros_ec_keyb_register_matrix()
to improve readability/efficiency
Changes in v4:
- replace sysfs_create_group() with devm_device_add_group()
- remove an unused member in struct cros_ec_keyb
Changes in v3:
- parse `function-row-physmap` from DT earlier, when we probe
cros_ec_keyb, and then store the extracted info in struct cros_ec_keyb.
Changes in v2:
- create function-row-physmap file in sysfs by parsing
`function-row-physmap` property from DT
- assume the device already has a correct keymap to reflect the custom
top-row keys (if they exist)
