An upcoming patch will alter how simple unions, like InputEvent, are
laid out, which will impact all lines of the form 'evt->u.XXX'
(expanding it to the longer 'evt->u.XXX.data'). For better
legibility in that patch, and less need for line wrapping, it's better
to use a temporary variable to reduce the effect of a layout change to
just the variable initializations, rather than every reference within
an InputEvent.
There was one instance in hid.c:hid_pointer_event() where the code
was referring to evt->u.rel inside the case label where evt->u.abs
is the correct name; thankfully, both members of the union have the
same type, so it happened to work, but it is now cleaner.
