Yes, I was perhaps getting a bit too creative here (the two inputs
come from transformers mounted 90 degrees apart so measure X and Y
component of an angle). The only reason I did this was to take
advantage of the possibility of an "OR" event to avoid double events
for a single fault bit. We can just go with the double event on the
two different input channels as discussed in "[PATCH v3 22/27]
staging: iio: resolver: ad2s1210: convert LOS threshold to event
attr".
