  To: linux-input; +Cc: Dmitry Torokhov, Andrzej Pietrasiewicz, kernel

Userspace might want to implement a policy to temporarily disregard input
from certain devices, including not treating them as wakeup sources.

An example use case is a laptop, whose keyboard can be folded under the
screen to create tablet-like experience. The user then must hold the laptop
in such a way that it is difficult to avoid pressing the keyboard keys. It
is therefore desirable to temporarily disregard input from the keyboard,
until it is folded back. This obviously is a policy which should be kept
out of the kernel, but the kernel must provide suitable means to implement
such a policy.

PATCH 1/2 adds support for inhibiting input devices, while PATCH 2/2
provides an example how to convert a driver to take advantage of this
new feature.

There are 

$ git grep "input_allocate_device(" | grep -v ^Documentation | cut -f1 -d: \
							| sort | uniq | wc
    388     388   13425

many input device drivers, so it is impossible to convert all of them
in one go.

This work is inspired by:
