Yes, this should call warn_no_thread() when the interrupt is triggered, but
I don't know if these sensors are actually functional on my laptop (I've never
tried to use them).

So I installed libiio-utils from debian and this is the output from
iio_info:

The iio:device* sensors all report 0 for the "offset value", so these
sensors are maybe non-fuctional.


> What did I miss?

I don't think you missed something, but the thread function being NULL here
could a problem on devices where these sensors actually work. (Or perhaps these sensors
need to be polled and the interrupts never trigger (?))
