Yes, I do see the in_*_raw_* files in sysfs, and I'm able to get data
out of them. Gnome also seems to recognize that the accelerometers are
there because it adds a rotation lock button to the system menu.

However, the events are getting through yet. It may be that I'm
missing something in my kernel config. I'm rebuilding the kernel with
Debian's config for the 4.5.5 kernel as a quick sanity test. I'll
report back when I've tried.

I'll also take some time and review the patch series later this afternoon.
