That is actually the reason why I wanted to carry those patch, but for the other way around: upstream code changed so much on those aspects, that I don't expect ANY fix coming from 3.38 on the input side, while I do expect improvements on the input-thread code, so keeping in sync with upstream on it would allow us to have upstream fixes and support.

Don't agree here, as I personally did few fixes upstream on the input side that I wouldn't probably have done otherwise, so be in sync with upstream allows us to work with such code, addressing both upstream and downstream interests.
