 * struct input_polled_dev - simple polled input device
 * @private: private driver data
 * @flush: driver-supplied method that flushes device's state upon
 *	opening (optional)
 * @poll: driver-supplied method that polls the device and posts
 *	input events (mandatory).
 * @poll_interval: specifies how often the poll() method shoudl be called.
 * @input: input device structire 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.
