OK, the adjusted patch attached. I did look at the ifdefs in that file
for a few minutes; but I see now I should have done it like this in the
first place.

+Dummy keyboard driver
+CONFIG_DUMMY_KEYB
+ What is this for?
+
+ Not all systems have keyboards. Some don't even have a keyboard
+ port. However, some of those systems have video support and can
+ use the virtual terminal support for display. However, the virtual
+ terminal code expects a keyboard of some kind. This driver keeps
+ the virtual terminal code happy by providing it a "keyboard", albeit
+ a very quiet one.
+
+ If you want to use the virtual terminal support but your system
+ does not support a keyboard, define CONFIG_DUMMY_KEYB along with
+ CONFIG_VT.
+
+ This can also be selected lonesome without any VT support (i.e. no
+ monitor or keyboard attached) - just define CONFIG_DUMMY_KEYB.
+
Event interface support
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV
Say Y here if you want your USB or ADB HID device events be
