Yes I used that actually, for the magnetometer example.

Thanks anyways!

Yes, this is mainly for establishing terminology, as the DT bindings
are (in theory, mind you) a standards document used by other
operating systems as well.

There are some problems with the Linux implementation,
primarily that it is "opt-in per driver" and I think it would make
sense to try to enable it by default for any 3-axis 3D things
and move all code to a central spot, if possible. I also think
we should patch generic_buffer to make use of the mount
matrix if it finds one. (I know, talk is cheap, show me the
code, it's all on my TODO list.)

Yours,
