The MMA8653FC is a low-power, three-axis, capacitive micromachined
accelerometer with 10 bits of resolution with flexible user-programmable
options.

Embedded interrupt functions enable overall power savings, by relieving the
host processor from continuously polling data, for example using the poll()
system call.

The device can be configured to generate wake-up interrupt signals from any
combination of the configurable embedded functions, enabling the MMA8653FC
to monitor events while remaining in a low-power mode during periods of
inactivity.

This driver provides devicetree properties to program the device's behaviour
and a simple, tested and documented sysfs interface. The data sheet and more
information is available on Freescale's website.

Shouldn't this go to drivers/iio/magnetometer instead of defining a new sysfs ABI?

It could have gone to drivers/iio/accel if it would use an iio
interface, which would make more sense, you are right, but I simply
don't have the time to merge it in to iio.

It doesn't use an input interface either but I don't see a good place
for an accelerometer that uses sysfs only.

It works well, is a relatively recent chip and a clean dirver. But this
is all I can provide.

Best regards,
Alexander
