Thanks for reviewing, Jonathan,
Correct. It says so in chapter 7.12. But that's a "problem" with all
these imu devices, not specific to this addition right?
Sidenote: I thought about renaming things to "lsm6ds0" here just because
of the name and because the registers are (almost) the same as for my
lsm9ds1. But I'm not a fan of blindly doing that without being able to
test. When the current patchset looks good to you, let's keep it that way.
