[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.8 86/98] Input: make input_class constant

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Ricardo B. Marliere" <ricardo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a4735d40a5da96a637af6e5bf9f6ec8b9d996acd ]

Since commit 43a7206b0963 ("driver core: class: make class_register() take
a const *"), the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, so move the input_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at boot time.
