[PATCH v2 07/10] iio: core: Introduce IIO_CHAN_INFO_FILTER_OUTLIERS_THRESH and _PERIOD

[Irina Tirdea]

The pedometer needs to filter out false steps that might be generated by
tapping the foot, sitting, etc. To do that it computes the number of
steps that occur in a given time and decides the user is moving only
if this value is over a threshold. E.g.: the user starts moving only
if he takes 4 steps in 3 seconds. This filter is applied only when
the user starts moving.

A device that has such pedometer functionality is Freescale's MMA9553L:
http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA9553LSWRM.pdf.

To export this feature, this patch introduces
IIO_CHAN_INFO_FILTER_OUTLIERS_THRESH and IIO_CHAN_INFO_FILTER_OUTLIERS_PERIOD.
For the pedometer, in_steps_filter_outlier_thresh will specify the number of
steps that need to occur in in_steps_filter_outlier_period seconds so that
the pedometer decides the user is moving.
