Most likely you selected and then pasted the patch while in X. This caused
whitespace damage to the patch (tabs were converted to spaces). Try saving

"patch" command.

Alternatively, just edit drivers/Makefile and move the line mentioning
"input/serio" to be just above the line mentioning "input".
