 Description
 -----------

 This driver provides support for the accelerometer found in various HP laptops
 sporting the feature officially called "HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D" or
 "HP 3D DriveGuard". It detects automatically laptops with this sensor. Known
 models (full list can be found in drivers/platform/x86/hp_accel.c) will have
 their axis automatically oriented on standard way (eg: you can directly play
 neverball). The accelerometer data is readable via
 /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d. Reported values are scaled
 to mg values (1/1000th of earth gravity).

 Sysfs attributes under /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/:
 position - 3D position that the accelerometer reports. Format: "(x,y,z)"
 rate - read reports the sampling rate of the accelerometer device in HZ.
 	write changes sampling rate of the accelerometer device.
 	Only values which are supported by HW are accepted.
 selftest - performs selftest for the chip as specified by chip manufacturer.

 This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing
 the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick. Joystick device can be
 calibrated. Joystick device can be in two different modes.
 By default output values are scaled between -32768 .. 32767. In joystick raw
 mode, joystick and sysfs position entry have the same scale. There can be
 small difference due to input system fuzziness feature.
 Events are also available as input event device.

 Selftest is meant only for hardware diagnostic purposes. It is not meant to be
 used during normal operations. Position data is not corrupted during selftest
 but interrupt behaviour is not guaranteed to work reliably. In test mode, the
 sensing element is internally moved little bit. Selftest measures difference
 between normal mode and test mode. Chip specifications tell the acceptance
 limit for each type of the chip. Limits are provided via platform data
 to allow adjustment of the limits without a change to the actual driver.
 Seltest returns either "OK x y z" or "FAIL x y z" where x, y and z are
 measured difference between modes. Axes are not remapped in selftest mode.
 Measurement values are provided to help HW diagnostic applications to make
 final decision.

 On HP laptops, if the led infrastructure is activated, support for a led
 indicating disk protection will be provided as /sys/class/leds/hp::hddprotect.

 Another feature of the driver is misc device called "freefall" that
 acts similar to /dev/rtc and reacts on free-fall interrupts received
 from the device. It supports blocking operations, poll/select and
 fasync operation modes. You must read 1 bytes from the device.  The
 result is number of free-fall interrupts since the last successful
 read (or 255 if number of interrupts would not fit). See the freefall.c
 file for an example on using the device.


 Axes orientation
 ----------------

 For better compatibility between the various laptops. The values reported by
 the accelerometer are converted into a "standard" organisation of the axes
 (aka "can play neverball out of the box"):
  * When the laptop is horizontal the position reported is about 0 for X and Y
 	and a positive value for Z
  * If the left side is elevated, X increases (becomes positive)
  * If the front side (where the touchpad is) is elevated, Y decreases
 	(becomes negative)
  * If the laptop is put upside-down, Z becomes negative

 If your laptop model is not recognized (cf "dmesg"), you can send an
 email to the maintainer to add it to the database.  When reporting a new
 laptop, please include the output of "dmidecode" plus the value of
 /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/position in these four cases.

 Q&A
 ---

 Q: How do I safely simulate freefall? I have an HP "portable
 workstation" which has about 3.5kg and a plastic case, so letting it
 fall to the ground is out of question...

 A: The sensor is pretty sensitive, so your hands can do it. Lift it
 into free space, follow the fall with your hands for like 10
 centimeters. That should be enough to trigger the detection.
