Subject: FXOS8700 Accelerometer/Magnetometer Support

Hello Utkarsh and linux-iio,

I'm interested in adding support for the FXOS8700 accel/mag device. I
was curious if there had already been an effort in mainline to add
support and could not find anything in the latest pulled version of
the testing branch. However looking at the list archive I saw an email
back in 2015 from Utkarsh who asked about implementing a driver for
the same device [https://marc.info/?l=linux-iio&m=142920413702776]. My
question for Utkarsh and/or the greater linux-iio mailing list is if
there had been any further effort since then that I can help finish?

Otherwise as someone new to driver development in general, I'm looking
for any advice to get me started. I did see a NXP aka Freescale driver
[https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx/tree/drivers/misc/fxos8700.c?h=imx_4.19.35_1.0.0]
for the device but it doesn't appear to follow the iio api from what I
can tell. Is it worth taking that driver and trying to get it to fit
into the IMU api or should I start from scratch?

Thanks,
Bobby Jones
