Ok, so the "something like this" in the patch review was really not so
trivial :)

To summarize, input.c needs to call leds.c to register its LEDs,
and leds.c uses input.c functions, such as input_event. So in the
all-modules case we have a circular dependency, and when one is built-in
but not the other, we get an undefined reference.  In my original patch
input.c would not call leds.c when built as module, and then the module
wouldn't be useful any more.

So in the end it would probably be simpler to just stuff leds.c along
input.c in input.ko or built-in. CONFIG_INPUT_LEDS will thus become a
bool.  I'm working on that now.
