I dont think I can use gpiod_get() due to the device tree format for
gpio-keys. I didn't know about the input_notifier framework. I'll check
if I can get it to work with that as-well.

I just notiched that as well. I was just making some changes including the
feadback from this thread:

         return 0;

I'll make a proposal with the input_notifier aswell.
