I deliberately left out the KIOX020A id for now, because currently
userspace cannot really deal with having 2 sensors.

See:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6557
https://github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/issues/166

Basically we need to come up with a convention to (optionally) indicate
the sensors location with a udev attribute set by:
/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-sensor.hwdb

And then patch iio-sensor-proxy to consume that attribute and ignore
the one which has e.g. ACCEL_LOCATION=keyboard in its udev properties

Ignoring would be a first step, maybe later it can do something useful
with it, see e.g. :  https://github.com/alesguzik/linux_detect_tablet_mode

IMHO we really should minimally get code in place for iio-sensor-proxy
to ignore the keyboard accelerometer before merging this patch.

I realize that having the code in place will not magically get it on
all users machines, but I believe this is the minimum which needs to
happen before we push this out and potentially breaks people screen
rotation.

I've had working on this on my TODO list for a long long time now,
but -ENOTIME. If you have some time to work on this then that would
be great.

Regards,

Hans
