[patch 3/7] Do not register statically allocated input devices

[Dmitry Torokhov <dtor_core@ameritech.net>]

Input: do not register statically allocated devices

Do not register statically allocated input devices to prevent
OOPS when attaching input interfaces since it requires class
device to be properly initialized.
