Solving N810 keyboard problem on linux-omap 2.6.29

On previous post, one of the problems mentioned on 'Known Issues' when compiling and flashing the kernel 2.6.29-omap1 was related to the keyboard: some keys doesn't work, so we could not type commands on 'X Terminal'.

I proposed a patch that solves this problem to linux-omap mailing list. It's just need to set the value of platform parameter size_y to the correctly (12, instead of 8).

This simple modification makes now N810' keyboard work properly.

To test it, just apply this patch against the linux-omap tree (on version 2.6.29-omap1 - commit 58cf2f1425abfd3a449f9fe985e48be2d2555022), recompile and reflash the kernel.
