Thanks, I'm glad that you like it.

Yes, reporting +1 g on the z-axis with the device remaining stationary
on a level surface is the normal behavior, and the returned positive
value actually goes along with the quoted description from the kernel
documentation.  The z-axis of the MPU-6050 goes upward and out of the
screen, the way the MPU-6050 is placed inside the PinePhone.

Wouldn't inverting the direction of the z-axis go against the
above-quoted description from the kernel documentation?

The way it's specified, it actually swaps the x- and y-axis, and
inverts the direction of the y-axis, all that from the viewpoint
of the accelerometer, which matches the proposed patch description.
IOW, the description keeps the original names of the axes.
