I'd say this should be treated like a staging binding but for the fact
that this has a user in arm. Problem of course is that it's probably
impossible to get that board and so doing any rework is probably not
realistic for this submitter?
Is there a general policy for iio devices in misc? Do they get reworked
to be moved?

The user funnily enough has the binding's click-thresh properties:
		st,click-single-x;
		st,click-single-y;
		st,click-single-z;
		st,click-thresh-x = <10>;
		st,click-thresh-y = <10>;
		st,click-thresh-z = <10>;
		st,irq1-click;
		st,irq2-click;
		st,wakeup-x-lo;
		st,wakeup-x-hi;
		st,wakeup-y-lo;
		st,wakeup-y-hi;
		st,wakeup-z-lo;
		st,wakeup-z-hi;
Dunno what that ultimately means in terms of which should be used
though.
