Thanks for the report. The following patch should fix the issue.

diff --git a/drivers/media/video/uvc/Kconfig b/drivers/media/video/uvc/Kconfig
index c2d9760..0dbe7b9 100644

        ---help---
          This option makes USB Video Class devices register an input device
          to report button events.

I'm not completely satisfied with this though, as the 
USB_VIDEO_CLASS_INPUT_EVDEV completely disappears from the configuration menu 
if INPUT is set to 'm' and USB_VIDEO_CLASS to 'y'. Being no Kconfig guru, I'd 
appreciate if someone could help me to find a nicer fix (if that's possible at 
all).
