Indeed. But the log message
http://www.mail-archive.com/git-commits-head@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg36026.html
doesn't seem to specify the reason
for the change, so this doesn't
clarify a thing, unfortunately.

I think that we should register devices even if there is no driver in
the kernel for it because driver may be compiled at later time or be out
of tree. Adding patch author and other people that signed off the patch
to CC...
Since there seem to be no objections,
would you mind adding the patch to your
git tree? Or who should that be?

I try to stay within drivers/input boundaries ;) Ingo I think is the
person you need.
If you google you will find a long thread about this patch.
It is all about saving memory for embedded platforms.
No need to have the driver if there is no speaker on the board.

Ask Michael (author) if you need more info.
