+Kernel driver for CMA3000-D0x
+============================
+
+Supported chips:
+* VTI CMA3000-D0x
+Datasheet:
+ CMA3000-D0X Product Family Specification 8281000A.02.pdf
+ <http://www.vti.fi/en/>
+
+Author: Hemanth V <hemanthv@ti.com>
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+CMA3000 Tri-axis accelerometer supports Motion detect, Measurement and
+Free fall modes.
+
+Motion Detect Mode: Its the low power mode where interrupts are generated only
+when motion exceeds the defined thresholds.
+
+Measurement Mode: This mode is used to read the acceleration data on X,Y,Z
+axis and supports 400, 100, 40 Hz sample frequency.
+
+Free fall Mode: This mode is intended to save system resources.
+
+Threshold values: Chip supports defining threshold values for above modes
+which includes time and g value. Refer product specifications for more details.
+
+CMA3000 chip supports mutually exclusive I2C and SPI interfaces for
+communication, currently the driver supports I2C based communication only.
+Initial configuration for bus mode is set in non volatile memory and can later
+be modified through bus interface command.
+
+Driver reports acceleration data through input subsystem. It generates ABS_MISC
+event with value 1 when free fall is detected.
+
+Platform data need to be configured for initial default values.
