Ok, so I'll send v2 with the following changes:

I prefer direct logic over inverse logic. Maybe just use kbd_dev,
default to true, but allow it to be set off?

static bool kbd_dev = true;
module_param(kbd_dev, bool, 0);
I have no preference here, either way works for me
Juergen, what do you think about the above?
I really have no preference here. What should be taken into account is
that boolean parameters don't need a value, meaning "true" in that case.
This would make no sense for "kbd_dev" as it wouldn't change the
default.
Then I'll go with the diff above, e.g. boolean no_{kbd|ptr})dev
