Looks good to me in general. A few comments on the documentation.
I briefly thought about whether we should make the direction enum dependent
on the type of channel, but then I checked and we have 7 bits for that
fields, so 'hopefully' we will always have plenty of space.
If people start defining 100s of gestures we may need to rethink.
This is bold new userspace ABI, so I definitely want to give this
more time on the list for others to have the opportunity to take a look
and think about whether it works for their devices etc.
Thanks,
Jonathan

I'd keep this a little more vague as different accelerometers have different
magic algorithms to detect this and we don't want to care about how they do
it.

That's a very simplistic tap detector. Given the control on the threshold
on the bma400 is a whole 3 bits, I'd not what to hazard any guess to
what 'tap sensitivity is'.
So I'd make this description much less specific. (even drop the device type)
Perhaps:
"Device generates an event on a single or double tap".

This is why 'gesture' detection is a pain. What are the units of this
value? (typically tap detection is done via some mixture of jerk and
thresholds on the raw acceleration plus temporal constraints).
Perhaps for now, we just add a sentence that says.
'Units and exact meaning are device specific.' ?
