That's what I did, originally.  But you told me I had to get rid of the FB
requirement.  So  that's why we submitted 
"[PATCH 0/9] staging: unisys: visorinput fixes and enhancements", which
includes all the stuff we needed to get rid of FB as well as the last
patch in the series, which adds INPUT.
Ben Romer actually submitted the patchset Fri 10/16/2015 @ 10:07 AM.
