+ * @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.
