Agree. Applied, thank you.

Interestingly:

dtor@dtor-ws:~/kernel/next $ git grep -i evbug
arch/arm/configs/davinci_all_defconfig:CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG=m
arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig:CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG=m
arch/arm/configs/moxart_defconfig:CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG=y
arch/arm/configs/omap1_defconfig:CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG=y
arch/mips/configs/pic32mzda_defconfig:CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG=m
arch/sh/configs/sh7785lcr_32bit_defconfig:CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG=m
arch/sparc/configs/sparc32_defconfig:CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG=m

I am curious why moxart and omap1 have it as 'y'.

Thanks.
