IIO_EV_TYPE_THRESH in rising direction describes an event where the
threshold is crossed in rising direction, positive or negative values
being possible. This is not the case here.

Since the threshold is no signed value and only the magnitude is compared,
IIO_EV_TYPE_MAG is what describes the behaviour of these devices, see the
sysfs-bus-iio ABI Documentation.

Fwiw there was some discussion of this before the initial submission:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-iio/msg14039.html

Initially I used a magnitude too but Jonathan convinced me it should be a threshold.

"

The  moment you know the sign of the magnitude it stops being a magnitude
and becomes a generic threshold.  Report it as such and control it as such.

"

Thing is that the hardware indeed only compares the absolute value for the threshold *but* indicates with the event the sign. However it is true that the driver doesn't currently do anything with the sign information.

This is a fix and so should have been the first patch in the series.  It will
want to go via a different tree (iio-fixes) and probably be marked for stable.

I would however like Peter's ack on this as well before taking it.
