lis3: selftest support
Implement selftest feature as specified by chip manufacturer. Control: read selftest sysfs entry Response: "OK x y z" or "FAIL x y z" where x, y, and z are difference between selftest mode and normal mode. Test is passed when values are within acceptance limit values. Acceptance limits are provided via platform data. See chip spesifications for acceptance limits. If limits are not properly set, OK / FAIL decision is meaningless. However, userspace application can still make decision based on the numeric x, y, z values. Selftest is meant for HW diagnostic purposes. It is not meant to be called during normal use of the chip. It may cause false interrupt events. Selftest mode delays polling of the normal results but it doesn't cause wrong values. Chip must be in static state during selftest. Any acceration during the test causes most probably failure.
