I see your point, I can work this out better.

No reason, I can make it unsigned. Unit suffix is a good addition
indeed!!!

It seems I have indentation issues in other places as well.
I think I remember checkpatch.pl informing me about those but I didn't
got anything back...

I see your point, I can try it.

Well this change is because before, the sensor was by default in
NORMAL_MODE so whenever we were writing a different setting (Output
data rate, oversampling ratio) to the sensor, the NORMAL_MODE was
chosen. There was no idea of SLEEP or FORCED MODE.

While now, since this commits adds the idea of SLEEP_MODE
by default (FORCED_MODE for oneshot captures, and NORMAL_MODE for
buffer/trigger) we need to keep the sensor in SLEEP_MODE as well
when we change its configuration.

I believe it belongs to this commit. Maybe though, I should mention
this change explicitly in the commit message?

Yes indeed its a typo, I wanted to say 5000us. The fsleep(5000) is correct.

That could help, yeah!

I was not aware of this convention, I can do it.

I can elaborate more in the comment yes.

I can maybe do it in a separate commit because you have already pointed
out things that could be improved with styling.

Yes, that would be good!!!
