iio: mma8452: add freefall detection for Freescale's accelerometers

Browse source

This adds freefall event detection to the supported devices. It adds
the in_accel_x&y&z_mag_falling_en iio event attribute, which activates
freefall mode.

In freefall mode, the current acceleration magnitude (AND combination
of all axis values) is compared to the specified threshold.
If it falls under the threshold (in_accel_mag_falling_value),
the appropriate IIO event code is generated.

This is what the sysfs "events" directory for these devices looks
like after this change:
