mimio.c:(.text+0x2526c9): undefined reference to `input_unregister_device'
mimio.c:(.text+0x2526da): undefined reference to `input_close_device'

mimio.c:(.text+0x2528f1): undefined reference to `input_event'
mimio.c:(.text+0x252904): undefined reference to `input_event'

mimio.c:(.text+0x252b51): undefined reference to `input_event'
drivers/built-in.o:mimio.c:(.text+0x252bbd): more undefined references to `input_event' follow
mimio.c:(.text+0x252e42): undefined reference to `input_allocate_device'
