HID: input: Create a utility class for counting scroll events

HarryCutts · Jiri Kosina · commit 1ff2e1a44e02 · 2018-09-05T10:12:07.000+02:00
To avoid code duplication, this class counts high-resolution scroll
movements and emits the legacy low-resolution events when appropriate.
Drivers should be able to create one instance for each scroll wheel that
they need to handle.
