Hi Dmitry,

Meego folks have a requirement for dynamic sysfs switches
for input drivers. I saw a patch from Samu (Nokia) for the same but which
lost its way out.  Here is a small modified patch set for the SKE
driver *only* which completes this requirement and hence a question for
you. (The idea is only a sysfs implemention; its not yet synced in with the
mainline code)

Would you be okay to accept a stand-alone patch like the below for all the
input drivers that we would be pushing in or do you have some comments
or improvements suggested to be folded in the original patch set from Nokia,
so that it can get through into the generic tree?
I am not the biggest fan of such solution and I would prefer having this
facility on a more generic level, maybe tied in with a special for of PM
(something like user-controlled)?  Then most of the devices would simply
reuse existing suspend/resume hooks without the need to add more and
more pretty much duplicate code.

Thanks.
