Vendor: Zephyr-specific binding

Description

SDL keyboard GPIO input Emulator

Simulate GPIO state/interrupts using SDL keyboard events. This node has
to be a child of a `zephyr,gpio-emul` compatible.
Add a list of scancodes for the desired keys to be mapped.

Refer to https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/documents/hut1_12v2.pdf
section Keyboard/Keypad (p53) for a list of scancode values.

The following example maps the first 3 numeric keys to GPIO pins:

/* gpio0 has to be a zephyr,gpio-emul device */
&gpio0 {
  ngpios = <3>;

  sdl_gpio {
    compatible = "zephyr,gpio-emul-sdl";
    scancodes = <30 31 32>;
  };
};

keypad: keypad {
  compatible = "gpio-keys";
  key1: key1 {
    gpios = <&gpio0 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
  };
  key2: key2 {
    gpios = <&gpio0 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
  };
  key3: key3 {
    gpios = <&gpio0 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
  };
};

The limitations of usage are:
- Only active high as we don't get events for keys that aren't pressed
- Pressing multiple keys is best effort, state will be kept but no events
  are generated once the last key is released
