I had a quick look at it: - The misc driver has a bridge that optionally registers the accelerometer as a joystick in the input subsystem, so it can be used as a polled joystick. That looks like something we would want to be able to do for any accelerometer in a generic glue file in IIO I think? - Ability to generate a "free-fall event" on a misc device if the device containing the sensor is dropped. A special interrupt can be enabled on the device for this. I can't quite see how userspace is supposed to react to it, because this miscdevice userspace ABI is sort of complex. - Some driver-specific sysfs power management stuff - Context save/restore registers for power-off handling. - Trigger selftest from sysfs : I suspect this could be ported over to all the ST Micro devices, as they are similar in that way, same kind of test registers. - Possible to enable high-pass filter from the DT config. (Should that not be dynamic?) Apart from that it has a custom sysfs interface to read the accelerometer, similar to the IIO interface. It seems to *only* support raw values AFAICT though, not sensitivity adjustment, so my patch gives the ability to have better sensor handling in the kernel from an IIO point of view.
