well, yes. It adds an interrupt source for those that don't support the
existing one, but I could come up with even more seperate changes,
that's true.

Since the threshold is no signed value, it changes the event type
from IIO_EV_TYPE_THRESH to IIO_EV_TYPE_MAG, see the patch or
sysfs-bus-iio Documentation:

What:		/sys/.../iio:deviceX/events/in_accel_x_mag_en

Similar to in_accel_x_thresh[_rising|_falling]_en, but here the
magnitude of the channel is compared to the threshold, not its
signed value.
