Hello,
this patch series add a new GPIO charlieplex keypad driver.

The first two patches simply commonize two properties that are present in
a few bindings, so that the actual patches for the charlieplex keypad driver
can reuse them instead of also redefining them.

I have tested the driver on a custom board with a Solidrun RZ/G2LC SOM
with three charlieplex keyboards, all connected thru a single PCA9416 I2C GPIO
expander.

Link: [v2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260213171431.2228814-1-hugo@hugovil.com/

Changes for v3:
- Add ASCII diagram in bindings, and reference to it in example
- Reorder properties alphabetically
- Add patch to define common input settling-time-us property
- Add patch to define common input debounce-delay-ms property

Changes for v2:
- Fix yamllint error for example
- Remove unused debug variable (nkeys)
- Remove support for custom linux,no-autorepeat DT property
- Remove support for custom gpio-activelow DT property

Thank you.
