It seems I fixed the patch at some point but didn't update the message.

In general, we should not mix 'depends on' and 'select' for the same symbol,
since that causes extra confusion.

In case of CONFIG_INPUT, almost all the users do 'depends on INPUT', with
a few exceptions that seem to be done in error.
Updated patch below.

Subject: [PATCH] [SUBMITTED] iio:adc: at91 requires the input subsystem

Building the at91 adc driver with CONFIG_INPUT disabled results in this
build error:

ERROR: "input_event" [drivers/iio/adc/at91_adc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "input_unregister_device" [drivers/iio/adc/at91_adc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "input_free_device" [drivers/iio/adc/at91_adc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "input_register_device" [drivers/iio/adc/at91_adc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "input_set_abs_params" [drivers/iio/adc/at91_adc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "input_allocate_device" [drivers/iio/adc/at91_adc.ko] undefined!

To make sure we can build random configurations, this adds a Kconfig
dependency on CONFIG_INPUT, as we do for other similar drivers.
