Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] IO: hid-sensor-magn-3d: Add in support for
 True/Magnetic North HID usages

Hey Srinivas,

Well I could use sensor_hub_input_get_attribute_info() for each usage
attribute. I was just thinking that since each usage attribute is
found in a row, one for each field I think, it'd be easier to create
iio channels that way. This would eliminate running the for loop
search for usage id each time.

I realize that my parse_report function is quite ugly espically ending
in four closing parenthesis and copying code from
sensor_hub_input_get_attribute_info(). I will change it if you don't
think it will slow down the driver or have any negative effects.

Thanks,
Reyad
