Thanks a lot for adding support for this. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga
260, so I decided to give it a try. I used your patches on kernel 4.6.0
and installed the patched kernel. Now, I see that the device is
recognised immediately. I use the iio-sensor-proxy application from
[1], and it now recognises the sensors. But changing orientation
doesn't seem to do anything, and moreover upon a wakeup from suspend I
see the following messages on the journal:

Also suspend and wakeup seems to be really slow now. Please let me know
if there is any other info I can provide.

Thanks and best wishes.
