I am not sure if I agree with this patch: up until now drivers could
decide if they export presence of the tool type to userspace and
userspace could distinguish between "pure" touchscreens and touchscreens
that support additional tools, such as stylus. Now we unconditionally
claim that all multi-touch devices support multiple tools.

The fact that we were dropping MT_TOOL_TYPE for devices that do not
support anything but finger I'd consider a "feature".
