Strangely the last time I can remember discussion around how to
support tap detection was way back in the early days of IIO, perhaps
10 years ago. I don't recall us ever coming to a conclusion on how to do it.

Not sure how that would work seeing as there is only one modifier
field and it's not a bitmap. 
The event code would need to encode both what type of tap and
the direction and there aren't two fields in which to do that.

One way I can see this 'might' work would be to use
the event type to encode tap and the direction could be 'abused'
to encode single vs double (or other events like this)

in_accel_x_tap_single
in_accel_x_tap_double

We could possibly be more generic and have the 'type' as
'event' or something like that allowing us to use the
7 bit direction field to encode different detectable events
(I'm not that keen on the name event though, could maybe
map it to gesture which would cover some of the other
motion pattern detection devices out there)

That would give us

in_accel_x_event_singletap
in_accel_y_event_doubletap

etc.

How ever we move forwards we do it this want to be in a new series with a nice
bold title to attract that attention of people who don't really
care about he bma400 but do care about tap detection; it's
a common feature of accelerometers.
