Above is the first thing I tried.

Current implementation:

root@...32mp1:~# ls -1 /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/events/
in_intensity_clear_thresh_falling_en
in_intensity_clear_thresh_falling_value
in_intensity_clear_thresh_rising_en
in_intensity_clear_thresh_rising_value

in_proximity_thresh_falling_en
in_proximity_thresh_falling_value
in_proximity_thresh_rising_en
in_proximity_thresh_rising_value


First method (Which you are suggesting):
.mask_separate = BIT(IIO_EV_INFO_VALUE),
.mask_shared_by_type = BIT(IIO_EV_INFO_ENABLE),

root@...32mp1:~# ls -1 /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/events/
in_intensity_clear_thresh_falling_value
in_intensity_clear_thresh_rising_value
in_intensity_thresh_falling_en
in_intensity_thresh_rising_en

The above says all channels with with the type IIO_INTENSITY has
the same enable but we require this particular channel (in_intensity_clear)
regardless of direction to have the same enable.
Using mask_shared_by_dir and mask_shared_by_all does not provide the logical
attribute name. 


This patch provides the below:

root@...32mp1:~# ls -1 /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/events/
in_intensity_clear_thresh_either_en
in_intensity_clear_thresh_falling_value
in_intensity_clear_thresh_rising_value

in_proximity_thresh_either_en
in_proximity_thresh_falling_value
in_proximity_thresh_rising_value

Verified using iio_event_monitor:

root@...32mp1:~# ./iio_event_monitor /dev/iio:device0
Event: time: 1647143384807582753, type: proximity, channel: 0, evtype: thresh, direction: either
