Hmm, I do like the "input_mt_close_slot()", or
"input_mt_report_slot_inactive()". I think the
input_mt_report_slot_state() is fine for "opening" the slot, as, with it
now returning bool, we can do:

	if (input_mt_report_slot_state(dev, MT_TOOL_FINGER, state)) {
		...
		< report events for active slot >
	}
