This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing
the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick.
+Another feature of the driver is misc device called "freefall" that
+acts similar to /dev/rtc and reacts on free-fall interrupts received
+from the device. It supports blocking operations, poll/select and
