But the data in the kernel is the "source of truth" for now since the
other tree is simply generated.

Umm, not sure if I like symlink, it makes hard to see what includes
what. The individual DTSes will continue including
dt-bindings/input/input.h and only input.h will include uapi header
(so use of uapi is internal detail). Would that still be a problem?
