The pedometer needs to filter out false steps that might be generated by tapping the foot, sitting, etc. To do that it computes the number of steps that occur in a given time and decides the user is moving only if this value is over a threshold. E.g.: the user starts moving only if he takes 4 steps in 3 seconds. This filter is applied only when the user starts moving. A device that has such pedometer functionality is Freescale's MMA9553L: http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA9553LSWRM.pdf. To export this feature, this patch introduces IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_COUNT and IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_TIME. For the pedometer, in_steps_debounce_count will specify the number of steps that need to occur in in_steps_debounce_time seconds so that the pedometer decides the user is moving.
