In general it helps to provide the broken configuration.

If you do some digging, you may notice that this has been broken
since commit 917f0af9e5a9 ("powerpc: Remove arch/ppc and include/asm-ppc"),
or in other words since 2008. CONFIG_INPUT is not set with walnut_defconfig,
which may explain why no one noticed.

I would suggest to just remove the offending code. Quite obviously it is dead.
