Hemanth,
I do not really see the difference between sysfs interface and HAL interface. They both abstract hardware details and bring them to common denominator. If you guys can agree on HAL interface I trust sysfs should be possible too ;)
BTW, the reason I do not comment on sysfs accelerometer infrastructure is because it is not topic I am vested in, my time budget barely covers pure input matters. So as long as there is something that is common and shared between drivers I would be good with it; you guys need to decide on details, please.
Thanks.
