While this applies and seems to come in Linux, it isn't in Linus' tree 
yet, let alone released
as stable. Should we really update input.h this soon? As long as you 
*really* check *again*
if something changed when 4.16 is released, it's fine, but still... why 
now?

Speaking of checking... Please take a look at line 26 of input.h, in 
other words, I'd propose
adding the following hunk to your change, _IF_ at all(!):

@@ -22,8 +24,9 @@
   * Note that __USE_TIME_BITS64 is defined by libc based on
   * application's request to use 64 bit time_t.
   */
+
  struct input_event {
-#if    (__BITS_PER_LONG != 32 || !defined(__USE_TIME_BITS64)) && 
!defined(__KERNEL)
+#if (__BITS_PER_LONG != 32 || !defined(__USE_TIME_BITS64)) && 
!defined(__KERNEL)
         struct timeval time;
  #define input_event_sec time.tv_sec
  #define input_event_usec time.tv_usec
