Spell out what this property means to userspace. If the property is set, all directional axes must be accelerometer axes, any other axes are left as-is. This allows an accelerometer device to e.g. have an ABS_WHEEL.
It is not permitted to mix normal directional axes and accelerometer axes on the same device node. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <[email protected]> --- I think this is the most sensible definition of what to expect when this property is set on a device.
