Hemanth,

I do not really see the difference between sysfs interface and HAL
interface. They both abstract hardware details and bring them to common
denominator. If you guys can agree on HAL interface I trust sysfs should
be possible too ;)

BTW, the reason I do not comment on sysfs accelerometer infrastructure
is because it is not topic I am vested in, my time budget barely covers
pure input matters. So as long as there is something that is common and
shared between drivers I would be good with it; you guys need to decide
on details, please.

Thanks.
