Hi Bastien,

Thanks for providing this suggestion. I can see this approach work
for
situations like screen rotation on tablets. The device I'm involved
with is an input device, which needs a high poll rate for
acceleration
/ velocity and needs to be paired with the button / axes data. Evdev
would be most appropriate.
So more like a Wiimote than a builtin sensor. What will consume events
in user-space? A specialised application?
Correct see it more like a wiimote-like device. I expect many
userspace applications (desktop or embedded) to ultimately support
this device and many existing applications could already use the
device except they can't utilize the motion sensors.
