This patch depends on 'introduce new evdev interface'. Userspace cat set / get evdev interface type via the two ioctl commands. And default interface type is EV_IF_LEGACY, so the old binary will work normal with new kernel. Maybe we should change this default option to encourage people to move to new interface.
And since all events are stored as input_value in evdev, there are no need to flush evdev_client's buffer if we change clk_type and if_type.
