Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Input: matrix_keypad - force switch rows to input mode"
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 13:09:35 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002100935.449473-1-al.kochet@gmail.com> (raw)
This reverts commit 01c84b03d80aab9f04c4e3e1f9085f4202ff7c29.
The commit makes every scan call gpiod_direction_input() on the row
GPIOs. On pin controllers where GPIO input and interrupt are separate
pinmux functions this switches the row pins out of interrupt mode, and
enable_row_irqs() does not switch them back: it only unmasks the
interrupts. Row interrupts then never arrive and the keypad stops
working. Seen with a matrix keypad on an Allwinner A64 board (PINE
A64-LTS); it works again with the commit reverted.
The workaround is not needed on Ingenic either: the author of the
reverted commit re-tested all available JZ47xx SoCs and they all report
the live pin state in interrupt mode, see the thread in Link.
Fixes: 01c84b03d80a ("Input: matrix_keypad - force switch rows to input mode")

The same three-line removal has been in use on Allwinner A64 hardware on
top of v6.12.33; this version is rebased onto v7.3-rc5 and build-tested
(arm64, CONFIG_KEYBOARD_MATRIX=m).
Siarhei, Paul: you both agreed to the revert in the thread above, please
reply with your Acked-by/Tested-by if you would like it recorded.
