No, but somebody is.

How about you test it? It wasn't my bug-report, I just reported another 
report from somebody who _does_ run randconfig.

Here's another one:

	drivers/built-in.o: In function `bt_poll_rfkill':
	toshiba_acpi.c:(.text+0x37346): undefined reference to `input_event'

where the cause seems to be a totally broken Kconfig entry ACPI_TOSHIBA.

You can't just do

	select INPUT_POLLDEV

since that in turn needs all the _other_ input stuff. Yes, yes, things 
like various keyboard drivers do exactly that, but they are already inside 
"if INPUT_KEYBOARD/INPUT_MISC" or similar.

So at the very least, you'd now have to have it do a "depends on INPUT" or 
something like that.

Or perhaps just make that particular _feature_ depend on it, rather than 
make the whole driver depend on or select it.
