That config file has CONFIG_INPUT=n which is unusual. The problem affects 
m68k builds since I enabled the driver 3 years ago but powerpc builds have 
always been affected by this.

via_pmu_event() does nothing unless the hardware happens to be a 
particular powerpc PMU models but that logic is questionable (see comment 
in via-pmu-event.c). So I think the best solution is to make the 
via_pmu_event() code conditional on CONFIG_INPUT.

I'll send a patch to that effect.
