I think I see your point. My patch has more noise and lacks a logic
structure in proceding.
I will resubmit, but may I ask one question in particular. I moved the
entire list of register
defines from the adxl345_core.c to the common adxl345.h.
For setting spi-3wire with my approach, only two of those defines are
needed. I think it is
nicer for readability to keep the defines together, though, in a
commonly shared header.
Nevertheless most of the defines are just used locally in the .._core.c
Should I move them for refactory?
I feel there is no reason to move them. On the other hand I see many
drivers keep them in a common header. Hence, is there a best practice
which justifies moving them to a header?
