[PATCH] Input: MT - handle semi-mt devices in core

["Henrik Rydberg" <rydberg@euromail.se>]

Most semi-mt drivers use the slots in a manual way, but really only
need to treat the finger count manually. With this patch, a semi-mt
driver may use the input-mt core for everything else.

Hi Dmitry,

an earlier version of this patch came about as a test to handle the
synaptics profile sensor without too much extra work. I do not know
how that test panned out (no response), but this patch will likely be
useful regardless.
