Okay, I will update the driver, thanks!

Okay

It could be possible but currently, it was designed to enable every 
button from hardware's configuration and DT binding was just a way to 
customize button's keycode (default is KEY_RESERVED).
If I base it on the DT, it means that some buttons could never be 
reported (such as deactivated) because they will not be present in the 
DT. I am not sure if it is the behavior we want. What do you think?
