Subject[RFC v3] iio: input-bridge: optionally bridge iio acceleometers to create a /dev/input interface
Date
Some user spaces (e.g. some Android devices) use /dev/input/event* for handling
the 3D position of the device with respect to the center of gravity (earth).
This can be used for gaming input, auto-rotation of screens etc.

This interface should be the standard for such use cases because it is an abstraction
of how orientation data is acquired from sensor chips. Sensor chips may be connected
through different interfaces and in different positions. They may also have different
parameters. And, if a chip is replaced by a different one, the values reported by
the device position interface should remain the same, provided the device tree reflects
the changed chip.

This did initially lead to input accelerometer drivers like drivers/input/misc/bma150.c
or drivers/misc/lis3lv02d/

But nowadays, new accelerometer chips mostly get iio drivers and rarely input drivers.

Therefore we need something like a protocol stack which bridges raw data and input devices.
It can be seen as a similar layering like TCP/IP vs. bare Ethernet. Or keyboard
input events vs. raw gpio or raw USB access.

This patch bridges the gap between raw iio data and the input device abstraction
so that accelerometer measurements can additionally be presented as X/Y/Z accelerometer
channels (INPUT_PROP_ACCELEROMETER) through /dev/input/event*.

There are no special requirements or changes needed for an iio driver.

There is no need to define a mapping (e.g. in device tree).

This driver simply collects the first 3 accelerometer channels as X, Y and Z.
If only 1 or 2 channels are available, they are used for X and Y only. Additional
channels are ignored.

Scaling is done automatically so that 1g is represented by value 256 and
range is assumed to be -511 .. +511 which gives a reasonable precision as an
input device.

If a mount-matrix is provided by the iio driver, it is also taken into account
so that the input event automatically gets the correct orientation with respect
to the device.

If this extension is not configured into the kernel it takes no resources (except
source code).

If it is configured, but there is no accelerometer, there is only a tiny penalty
for scanning for accelerometer channels once during probe of each iio device.

If it runs, the driver polls the device(s) once every 100 ms. A mode where the
iio device defines the update rate is not implemented and for further study.

If there is no user-space client, polling is not running.

The driver is capable to handle multiple iio accelerometers and they are
presented by unique /dev/input/event* files. The iio chip name is used to define
the input device name so that it can be identified (e.g. by udev rules or evtest).

Here is some example what you can expect from the driver (device:
arch/arm/boot/dts/omap3-gta04a5.dts):

Although the sensor chips are mounted with different axis orientation,
the application of the mount matrix provides equivalent (despite noise
and precision) information on device orientation.

V1: initial RFC version
V2:
  - rework based on comments by Jonathan Cameron
- mainly: use input_polldev instead of using own polling timer
- no need for checking number of open()/close()
- no need for locks (already handled by input framework)
V3:
  - use new iio_dev->input_mapping instead of mis-using iio_dev->private
  - removed some spurious printk from debugging
  - collect channels first and then register them all in one step
  - fix issue with unsigned int type propagation in atofix()
  - simplify code for handling negative numbers
  - fix sequence in unregister
