Is use to report the size of the hardware FIFO to Android, to enable
batching mode:
https://source.android.com/devices/sensors/batching.
It is reported in fifoReservedEventCount or fifoMaxEventCount in the
sensor_t structure described at
https://source.android.com/devices/sensors/hal-interface#sensor_t.
Having said that, batching is not terribly useful for tablet or
laptop, but is critical for wearable.
