Add optional enable and disable methods to input system.
Add sysfs entry for enabling and disabling input device.
When registering a device to input system, device can provide
optional enable and disable methods. State is set to enabled by default.
Opening / closing the input device doesn't change the state.
If the callback functions are not provided, sysfs entry returns
ENOSYS error code.
Purpose:
Several user space applications can keep device open at the same time.
One user space application can enable and disable the device
via sysfs entry. Depending on the device driver, disable / enable
functions can totally turn off the HW or prevent interrupts to
come trough.
