As mentioned in the commit message, in input_unregister_device
is not necessary for input-devices created with
devm_input_allocate_device():

"According to the input documentation the input device allocated by
devm_input_allocate_device() does not need to be explicitly unregistered."

I have verified that the documentation is correct here, so there is
no need to keep the input_unregister_device() as it was never necessary
to have that there.

Hans
