Neither in menuconfig nor in xconfig do I see any place to actually select
INPUT. Help text suggests that it is a) selectable b) it can be made modules.
I do not have either option. Here what I see in menuconfig if I go into Input
device support:

--- Generic input layer (needed for keyboard, mouse, ...)
< > Support for memoryless force-feedback devices
--- Userland interfaces

as you see there is no check box for INPUT itself.

I already had similar issue something else (I believe it was something related
to serio). In menuconfig item was no selectable, but I could directly
edit .config to change y to m.

This may be related to

Symbol: INPUT [=y]
Prompt: Generic input layer (needed for keyboard, mouse, ...)
Defined at drivers/input/Kconfig:7
Depends on: EMBEDDED
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Input device support
Selected by: VT

and CONFIG_VT is indeed y (I do not think this even can ever be m). Still even
then this is way too confusing.
.config can be provided on request
