I am confused. Input devices are not runtime-PM-enabled, so what
enabling this on evdev handler buys us? And what about joydev and
mousedev? Other handlers that might be attached?

The stubbing of prepare also feels wrong: we do want to suspend/resume
input devices since we want to shut off and restore their leds even if
device (keyboard) happens to be sleeping.

Thanks.
