Subject: [PATCH 5.3 061/105] media: rc: mark input device as pointing stick

From: Sean Young <sean@...s.org>

commit ce819649b03d932dc19b0cb6be513779bf64fad3 upstream.

libinput refuses pointer movement from rc-core, since it believes it's not
a pointer-type device:

libinput error: event17 - Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (1784:0008): libinput bug: REL_X/Y from a non-pointer device

Fixes: 158bc148a31e ("media: rc: mce_kbd: input events via rc-core's input device")
Fixes: 0ac5a603a732 ("media: rc: imon: report mouse events using rc-core's input device")
