Hi Sebastien,

We could hide this in ${LOCALBASE}/include/libinput/ and use it explicit
by setting FLAGS -I.

I forked[1] libinput from mpi@[2] and updated libinput.h. You can find the port here:
https://github.com/sizeofvoid/wip-ports/tree/kde-plasma-wip/wayland/libinput

I did all the hacks to build kde-plasma/kwin in
wip-ports/tree/kde-plasma-wip. Currently I am failing at :

/usr/ports/pobj/kwin-5.25.4/kwin-5.25.4/src/inputmethod.cpp:44:10: fatal error: 'linux/input-event-codes.h' file not found
#include <linux/input-event-codes.h>
