Surely request_mem_region is not a nop? I think even if uoremap is a nop
we need to convert the driver since it does not have to be on a
Blackfin, does it?

The device can survive input events as soon as it was allocated with
input_allocate_device() but of course the event will not get anywhere.
This is a property that I intend to keep since it is very convenient.
