I was wondering if we could do without modifying all the drivers that
are using input_mt_report_pointer_emulation(), by figuring out if we
should be emitting BTN_TOOL_FINGER right there:

"If device supports ABS_DISTANCE and does not support ABS_MT_DISTANCE and
ABS_DISTANCE != 0 is reported in current frame and there are no other
contacts then report BTN_TOOL_FINGER."

Thanks.
