[PATCH v2 2/3] input: increase INPUT_DEVICES to 512 to allow dynamic minors

[David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>]

All minor numbers for input devices are currently reserved for static
allocations. So increase the maximum number of input-devices to 512 to
give room of 256 devices for dynamic-minor allocation.

register_chrdev uses 256 as default limit so we need to change this
function call to actually pass the new number of devices. This makes it
also clearer how many minor numbers are actually allocated.

Please note that this doesn't increase the memory footprint at all. The
major/minor allocations are no longer realized by lookup-tables so we
could even increase this to some insanely large value and wouldn't loose
any performance here.
