2009-04-17Input: rotary_encoder - add support for REL_* axesH Hartley Sweeten
The rotary encoder driver only supports returning input events for ABS_* axes, this adds support for REL_* axes. The relative axis input event is reported as -1 for each counter-clockwise step and +1 for each clockwise step. The ability to clamp the position of ABS_* axes between 0 and a maximum of "steps" has also been added.

2009-03-08Input: generic driver for rotary encoders on GPIOsDaniel Mack
This patch adds a generic driver for rotary encoders connected to GPIO pins of a system. It relies on gpiolib and generic hardware irqs. The documentation that also comes with this patch explains the concept and how to use the driver.
