This is explicitly allowed:

"
...
 * NOTE: input_event() may be safely used right after input device was
 * allocated with input_allocate_device(), even before it is registered
 * with input_register_device(), but the event will not reach any of the
 * input handlers. Such early invocation of input_event() may be used
 * to 'seed' initial state of a switch or initial position of absolute
 * axis, etc.
 */
"
