Subject: [PATCH 11/15] ACPI video: use after input_unregister_device()

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

We can't use "input" anymore after calling input_unregister_device().
The call to input_free_device() is a double free.  The normal way to
deal with this is to make input_register_device() the last function
called in the function.
