If no one replied to earlier thread and you are fixing up something
you noticed yourself, please also reply to that thread so that
no one accidentally reviews it when catching up on emails!

It's the first instance I've ever seen of this particular oddity.
We have combined magic for cases like accelerometers where there is
maths involved (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) but this is a bit 'special'.
To be honest, I'm not sure what the point in actually doing it in a
design is.

So yes we are paying a price in ABI by doing this but until we have some
visibility of more sensors doing it, I'm not sure we can come up with a
general solution.

Yeah.  I've been a bit lazy on pushing the read_avail callback other than
in cases where we need to provide in kernel access.  However, in this
particular case the code is replicating what the core does so would be
nice to switch to the avail callbacks if possible.

At somepoint I'll actually add good documentation on how to use those
then start being a lot fussier about moving over to them for new
code.  To do that I'd also want to convert a few drivers to give more
examples of the various options.  It's been on the todo list for a while
(that list is far too long!)

If anyone wants to take this task on they would be most welcome - however
this probably isn't one for a beginner!
