 * Tegra keyboard controller
+The key controller has maximum 24 pins to make matrix keypad. Any pin
+can be configured as row or column. The maximum column pin can be 8
+and maximum row pins can be 16 for Tegra20/Tegra30.
 
 Required properties:
 - compatible: "nvidia,tegra20-kbc"
+- reg: Register base address of KBC.
+- interrupts: Interrupt number for the KBC.
+- nvidia,kbc-row-pins: The KBC pins which are configured as row. This is an
+  array of pin numbers which is used as rows.
+- nvidia,kbc-col-pins: The KBC pins which are configured as column. This is an
+  array of pin numbers which is used as column.
+- linux,keymap: The keymap for keys as described in the binding document
+  devicetree/bindings/input/matrix-keymap.txt.
 
 Optional properties, in addition to those specified by the shared
 matrix-keyboard bindings:
