From Phil's response this appears to be incorrect and
it's actually a level sensitive interrupt.
I haven't checked the data sheet to confirm this.

That'll bring all sorts of pain if you have a host that can only
do edge sensitive so I'm hoping that's not true for you
(edge sensitive only interrupts on hosts are pretty unusual
though it cause me a lot of problems when I started out
with IIO years ago :(

The docs aren't super clear on this.  The subtlety is
whether there is a guaranteed 'low' time between reading the
data and it going high again due to another reading.  This usually
only matters if you are running very quickly though so may be
fine here.

This will only become relevant with continuous mode if you
add support for that later (I think!)
