Two major patches here:
* updated documentation to inform users that a filed descriptor should be
drained of any pending events before passed into libevdev_set_fd. In most
cases this doesn't matter, if your program opens the fd and lets some time
elapse before initializing the libevdev context, you should read the
updated documentation.
* a potential race condition in the creation of uinput devices could return
the wrong syspath. This race condition only existed on kernels without the
UI_GET_SYSNAME ioctl (available since 3.15).
Peter Hutterer (5):

tools: fix coverty "may be used uninitialized" warnings
