This patch add support for device with older embedded controller
firmware that do not support the command MOTIONSENSE_CMD_DUMP.
Contrary to cros_ec_sensors_register(), we need to guess what
MOTIONSENSE_CMD_DUMP would have returned when only 2 accelerometers
are present.
The IIO CrosEC sensors driver needs these id created by the EC to
reference a particular sensor: this is sensor_num in
cros_ec_sensor_platform.
It happens to be the same as .id in mfd_cell.

The later. The IIO driver needs to use the EC assigned names 0 and 1.

It is just a coincidence that .id and .sensor_num are identical.

I repost a more concise patch.
Thanks,
