NAME
       input_free_device - free memory occupied by input_dev structure

SYNOPSIS
       void input_free_device(struct input_dev * dev);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
           input device to free

DESCRIPTION
       This function should only be used if input_register_device was not called yet or if it
       failed. Once device was registered use input_unregister_device and memory will be freed
       once last reference to the device is dropped.

       Device should be allocated by input_allocate_device.

NOTE
       If there are references to the input device then memory will not be freed until last
       reference is dropped.
