Makes sense to do docs first for this.  Quite a bit feels like it isn't
a feature of the device configuration, but rather of the usecase.  That
stuff should probably be done with a userspace interface, but you may
be able to argue me around on some of them!

This one is probably fine. I can't think of a similar interface we need
to match, but maybe Rob or someone else will have a suggestion.

Make it clear in this description what 'combined' means.
Also, I think this would be better as a set of values with an anyOf match to say
<3>
<0>, <1> 
<1>, <2> 
<1>, <2>, <3>

Fine to insist they are in numeric order.

Why is this something that should be in DT as opposed to via
a userspace control?  We have hardwaregain for this purpose (I think)

Also we mostly use child nodes to allow us to specify characteristics
of individual channels.

I'd normally be very against cases like this where we have something that
feels like it should have a clear definition rather than a random wordy scale
but these are all the information I can find in the datasheet.

I would suggest adding a specific reference to the datasheet for this one.

This feels like it should be a userspace control rather than in DT?

Having looked at the datasheet I have little or now idea of what this filter
actually is.  However, what is the argument for it being in DT rather than
exposing a userspace control of some type.

Compensation for what?

I'm not sure about using UINT_MAX to represent infinity. Rob any thoughts on
this?

Again, why does it make sense to have the filter controls in DT?

That is definitely a userspace thing. Why would you put it in DT?
Also same comment as above for channels as child nodes

As before, why DT plus child nodes

Is this hysteresis on an event?  If so we have defined ABI to control that
from userspace, though as an absolute value rather than a precentage so some
magic will be needed.  Hysteresis is usually defined only the 'not event'
direction rather than +/-

This feels like something that has more to do with the object motion than
the sensor setup, so perhaps should be controlled from userspace?
