It seems that Samu's patch is a bit different - it completely disables
the keypad. But I wonder if it needs the special attribute or the same
can be simply achieved by simply closing event device when it is not
needed. Or maybe unbinding driver through sysfs.

Overall it seems that every input device used in embedded has it's own
way of disabling itself, we need a generic solution... Maybe
userspace-controlled PM is the answer).
