Following are the difference between matrix keypad and Bosch keypad
make us to add another keypad driver.

matrix keypad:
	- By hardware schematic, a column GPIO line will intersect only
	  with row GPIO lines, not with the other column GPIO lines
	- so, row and column GPIO property are fixed, because of this
	- key scanning work based on interrupt mode
	- and key press is determined based on setting column as output,
	  row GPIO as input and set interrupt to monitor the changes in state,
	  serve the key pressed in ISR

Bosch keypad:
    - By hardware schematic column GPIO line can intersect with row GPIO line
	  as well as other column GPIO lines
	- so, all GPIO act as row as well as column, because of this
	- key scanning based on polling mode
	- a key pressed is determined by setting one of GPIO line as output and
	  other as input and poll for change in the state of input GPIO lines.
	  Setting one of a GPIO line as output and remaining GPIO lines as input is on
	  round robin bases.

This keypad driver specific to Bosch measuring tool or similar devices.
Please let me know to send latest patch which resolves build warning
and gpiod API support.
