I thought about that, adding an accel.c in drivers/accel/ and putting
this code there.
Eventually I thought that for two functions it's not worth it, but I
guess that in addition to the reason you gave, one can argue that
there will probably be more code in that file anyway, so why not open
it now.
I'll change this if no one else thinks otherwise.
