    man: note that we don't do /dev/input/by-id or /dev/input/by-path
    
    For logind-setups we need to match the path libinput wants to open with the
    Option Device path that the device has so we know when to return the
    server-fd. This doesn't work for by-id or by-path because libinput resolves
    those (through udev) to the actual eventX node so our paths look different
    when they are the same device.
    
    This could be fixed but since this is easy enough to work around with a
    InputClass section and rather a niche case, it's not really worth the effort.
