Heiko Stübner 3bfd5c5baf Input: add generic GPIO-tilt driver
There exist tilt switches that simply report their tilt-state via
some gpios. The number and orientation of their axes can vary
depending on the switch used and the build of the device. Also two
or more one-axis switches could be combined to provide multi-dimensional
orientation.

One example of a device using such a switch is the family of Qisda
ebook readers, where the switch provides information about the
landscape / portrait orientation of the device. The example in
Documentation/input/gpio-tilt.txt documents exactly this one-axis
device.

Driver for tilt-switches connected via GPIOs
============================================
Generic driver to read data from tilt switches connected via gpios.
Orientation can be provided by one or more than one tilt switches,
i.e. each tilt switch providing one axis, and the number of axes
is also not limited.
Data structures:
----------------
The array of struct gpio in the gpios field is used to list the gpios
that represent the current tilt state.
The array of struct gpio_tilt_axis describes the axes that are reported
to the input system. The values set therein are used for the
input_set_abs_params calls needed to init the axes.
The array of struct gpio_tilt_state maps gpio states to the corresponding
values to report. The gpio state is represented as a bitfield where the
bit-index corresponds to the index of the gpio in the struct gpio array.
In the same manner the values stored in the axes array correspond to
the elements of the gpio_tilt_axis-array.
Example:
--------
Example configuration for a single TS1003 tilt switch that rotates around
one axis in 4 steps and emitts the current tilt via two GPIOs.
