This error handling code can be reached before st->ts_input is
initialized, so it is safer to always use the original name, input_dev.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is:

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression struct input_dev * x;
expression ra,rr;
@@

* x = input_allocate_device(...)
... when != x = rr
when != input_free_device(x,...)
when != if (...) { ... input_free_device(x,...) ...}
if(...) { ... when != x = ra
when forall
* when != input_free_device(x,...)
\(return <+...x...+>; \| return...; \) }

// </smpl>

The error handling in this function has been completely rewritten so the
bug is no longer there and this no longer applies.

Hum, actually, you are wrong and I introduced that bug in 3.16. The
change didn't come from your tree so it is not up to date.

So either you take it after 3.16-rc1 or we can ask Nicolas to get it
through the at91 tree.
Ah, that would do it!
I'm lagging a bit (just sending a pull request for some fixes from pre 3.16
merge window opening). Will pick this up later in the week.

oops.
