minor nit: I'd just declare abs here.

you copy the id bits one-by-one into the input_dev but you memcpy it here.
is this intentional?

I really wish uinput would be a bit easier to debug than just returning
-EINVAL when it's not happy. having said that, the only errno that would
remotely make sense is -ERANGE for count > max and even that is a bit meh.
