Input: add generic GPIO-tilt driver

There exist tilt switches that simply report their tilt-state via
some gpios. The number and orientation of their axes can vary
depending on the switch used and the build of the device. Also two
or more one-axis switches could be combined to provide multi-dimensional
orientation.

One example of a device using such a switch is the family of Qisda
ebook readers, where the switch provides information about the
landscape / portrait orientation of the device. The example in
Documentation/input/gpio-tilt.txt documents exactly this one-axis
device.

+Driver for tilt-switches connected via GPIOs
+============================================
+
+Generic driver to read data from tilt switches connected via gpios.
+Orientation can be provided by one or more than one tilt switches,
+i.e. each tilt switch providing one axis, and the number of axes
+is also not limited.
+
+
+Data structures:
+----------------
+
+The array of struct gpio in the gpios field is used to list the gpios
+that represent the current tilt state.
+
+The array of struct gpio_tilt_axis describes the axes that are reported
+to the input system. The values set therein are used for the
+input_set_abs_params calls needed to init the axes.
+
+The array of struct gpio_tilt_state maps gpio states to the corresponding
+values to report. The gpio state is represented as a bitfield where the
+bit-index corresponds to the index of the gpio in the struct gpio array.
+In the same manner the values stored in the axes array correspond to
+the elements of the gpio_tilt_axis-array.
+
+
+Example:
+--------
+
+Example configuration for a single TS1003 tilt switch that rotates around
+one axis in 4 steps and emitts the current tilt via two GPIOs.
