I'd avoid boolean and use int and define EVENT_TYPE_TRANSIENT BIT(1) and
EVENT_TYPE_FF_MT BIT(0) for example. So something like 
"supported_event_types"
can have all types supported.

But this has quite some implications on your implementation, so your 
complete
solution would be more interesting to see. Keep it simple and focus on 
only this one
issue of enabling freefall (FF_MT registers) for the devices that 
currently use
transient registers.

thanks
