Yes -- only gpio-keys is affected but enabling the option does
introduce an additional .o file:

drivers/input/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_INPUT_POLLDEV)      += input-polldev.o

I agree that in its current state a user couls inadvertently disable
the gpio-keys support on da850-evm simply by disabling INPUT_POLLDEV
-- which is less than Ideal. How about I replace the current changes
to arch/arm/mach-davinci/Kconfig with:

config KEYBOARD_GPIO
        default MACH_DAVINCI_DA850_EVM
        select INPUT_POLLDEV

So 1) gpio-keys functionality is default for the da850evm and 2)
whenever gpio-keys is enabled so is INPUT_POLLDEV.
