Applied to next, thanks!

Yes, it would definitely be more correct.

We normally don't include in Buildroot patches that add new features to
packages, so in fact this patch adding ts_finddev and inputattach
(which had been there for a very long time) was not even complying with
this rule.

It would however be good to have the "Linux console" project packaged,
so that if people were using the inputattach program from tslib, we can
tell them to enable the linuxconsole package.

Thanks!
