Ehm, input_mt_get_absinfo?

I had rather re-add this myself, thanks.

Why return the struct? Give it a pointer instead, so the return value
can be used for errors.

Also, I wonder about the usefulness of extracting the absinfo here -
only the value depends on the slot argument, and absinfo does not
require the same lock protection. Why not keep the layout from the
original patch?

Should rather return -EINVAL on bad argument.

Please use input_mt_get_value().
