Subject: Re: [PATCH] docs: iio: adxl345: Fix typos, units, and grammatical errors

Hi Jonathan,

An audit of adxl345_core.c confirms the documentation scale factor of 0.478899
is incorrect. The driver's { 0, 4789 } correctly represents 0.004789 m/s^2
per LSB for the 2g range.

I'll prepare a v2 series to reconcile the driver and documentation
with the IIO ABI. This will include implementing in_accel_scale for events
to resolve the threshold unit inconsistencies.

I will send the update once I have implemented
and compile-tested the changes.

Best regards, Taha
