SubjectRe: Accelerometer etc subsystem (Update on progress)
Sorry, forgot to include the headers in the original patch.  Obviously these
are very rough and ready at the moment and if nothing else their overall
layout isn't particularly logical.

> Sysfs - Parameter Control - gain / offsets etc
> State control, turn interrupts on and off etc.
> Interrupt control parameters (threshold etc)
> Ring buffer parameters as relevant (currently fixed)
> Individual input reading (acceleration values here)
> Minor numbers for various chrdevs associated with this device.
>
> chrdev- 3 types of chrdev at the moment
> Ring buffer events
> Ring buffer access (currently ripping data off the buffer only)
> Interrupt events - for lis3l02dq these are only threshold breaks
>
> Functionality yet to be implemented.
> Polled based capture (use a peroidic timer if available)
>
> Hardware ring buffering for devices that support it (two level ring
> buffer -
> hard and soft may be appropriate)
>
> A chrdev for polling of whole device (with timestamps etc).
>
> Composite interrupt handling (some devices allow logical combinations
> of different interrupt signals to be used as the trigger condition).
>
> Documenation ;)
>
> Cleaner solution to data alignment in the ring buffer (currently I'm
> cheating
> and manually doing it)
>
> Lots lots more....
>
> Anyhow, all comments welcome. Can anyone think of a better name?
