The diff between 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 and 2.6.12-rc5-mm1 is enormous, but there
aren't any significant input driver changes there:
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/diffstat-2.6.12-rc4-mm2-2.6.12-rc5-mm1

Similarly, the 2.6.12-rc5-mm1 diff is large, but there aren't input driver
changes:
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/diffstat-2.6.12-rc5-mm1

So I dunno, sorry. Brute-force it with a git bisection search, perhaps?
