I was testing your changes, and with this patch none of my rc devices
have input devices associated with them. The problem is that you've changed
the order: input_register_device() should happen AFTER the preceding
4 lines.

This must have been a copy paste error and I don't have
transmitters to test it. Thanks for testing it. I will send it
again.
