Subject[RFC PATCH 4/8] iio: core: Introduce pedometer STEP counter modifier
Date
From: Irina Tirdea <irina.tirdea@intel.com>

One of the functionalities of a pedometer is a step counter.
The step counter needs to be enabled and then it will count the steps
in its hardware register. Whenever the applications need to check
the step count, they will read the step counter register.

To support this functionality we need a steps attribute that
will export the number of steps.

For more information on the pedometer requirements for Android see
http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html#counter.

A device that has the pedometer functionality this interface needs to
support is Freescale's MMA9553L:
