Looks quite reasonable and I think that ABS_Rx is reasonable events for
accelerometer in this particular case.

As mentioned by others these buffers should not be on stack.

Do you really need to have a state machine here? Why not do both
transfers in one poll invocation?

I prefer __set_bit() here since there is no concurrency.
