/**
 * struct input_polled_dev - simple polled input device
 * @private: private driver data.
 * @open: driver-supplied method that prepares device for polling
 *      (enabled the device and maybe flushes device state).
 * @close: driver-supplied method that is called when device is no
 *      longer being polled. Used to put device into low power mode.
 * @poll: driver-supplied method that polls the device and posts
 *      input events (mandatory).
 * @poll_interval: specifies how often the poll() method should be called.
 *      Defaults to 500 msec unless overridden when registering the device.
 * @poll_interval_max: specifies upper bound for the poll interval.
 *      Defaults to the initial value of @poll_interval.
 * @poll_interval_min: specifies lower bound for the poll interval.
 *      Defaults to 0.
 * @input: input device structure associated with the polled device.
 *      Must be properly initialized by the driver (id, name, phys, bits).
 *
 * Polled input device provides a skeleton for supporting simple input
 * devices that do not raise interrupts but have to be periodically
 * scanned or polled to detect changes in their state.
