Hi Arnd
Can i imply from your answer that you think
/dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio_keys.3-event
should be stable?
A quick look at udev rules seems to suggestion this is an issue for
input/gpio-keys and maybe audio and video if there is a top level DT
property collecting the different sub devices together for ASOC and
V4L.
Thanks
Andrew
