Some 2-in-1 laptops / convertibles with 360° (yoga-style) hinges, have 2 accelerometers, 1 in their base and 1 in their display. In many cases the kernel can detect the location of each accelerometer based on e.g. information from the ACPI tables. It is important for userspace to know the location of the 2 accelerometers. Rather then adding a new sysfs-attribute for this we can relay this information to userspace by using standardized label strings for this. This mirrors how this is done for proximity sensors. This commit documents 2 new standardized label strings for this purpose: "accel-base" "accel-display" Note the "base" and "display" suffixes were chosen to match the values used for the systemd/udev hwdb.d/60-sensor.hwdb file's ACCEL_LOCATION property.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
