[PATCH 2/2] input: make the Input Core be the last in the poller queue

Genius USB keyboard can't work with interrupt msgs, only control msgs.
Then, with control msgs if there were no report requests during ~10 secs, EHCI stack
in Barebox reports "timeout error" infinitely until 'usb' command will be exectued
(i.e. until EHCI halt + reset).

So:

1) usb_kbd can detect "timeout error" (or some other error) so your patch, as for now,
lacks status checking from idev->poll().

2) I know this is a WIP patch, but

the last_poll var was never set and why 'is_timeout' is here if you have async_calls?
Maybe it should be like this?:

static struct poller_async input_poller;
static void input_devices_poller_func(void *arg)
{
        struct input_device *idev;
        struct input_notifier *in;

        list_for_each_entry(idev, &input_devices, list) {
                idev->poll(idev);

                if (idev->event.value && is_timeout(idev->start, idev->timeout)) {
                        list_for_each_entry(in, &input_consumers, list)
                                in->notify(in, &idev->event);
                        idev->timeout = 40 * MSECOND;
                        idev->start = get_time_ns();
                }
        }

        poller_call_async(&input_poller, 10 * MSECOND, input_devices_poller_func, NULL);
}

And that's all what I can say about EHCI/input/usb_kbd so far.
