Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] iio: accel: adxl367: fix setting odr for activity time update

Fix setting the odr value to update activity time based on frequency
derrived by recent odr, and not by obsolete odr value.

The [small] bug: When _adxl367_set_odr() is called with a new odr value,
it first writes the new odr value to the hardware register
ADXL367_REG_FILTER_CTL.
Second, it calls _adxl367_set_act_time_ms(), which calls
adxl367_time_ms_to_samples(). Here st->odr still holds the old odr value.
This st->odr member is used to derrive a frequency value, which is
applied to update ADXL367_REG_TIME_ACT. Hence, the idea is to update
activity time, based on possibilities and power consumption by the
current ODR rate.
Finally, when the function calls return, again in _adxl367_set_odr() the
new ODR is assigned to st->odr.

The fix: When setting a new ODR value is set to ADXL367_REG_FILTER_CTL,
also ADXL367_REG_TIME_ACT should probably be updated with a frequency
based on the recent ODR value and not the old one. Changing the location
of the assignment to st->odr fixes this.
