Usually you'd want to be able to sample both the accelerometer and gyro

Some sensors doesn't share any functionality, simply share the same
interface or better the control registers for single sensor are separated.
I test this with the current driver but the second proble doesn't start!
Only one probe is mandatory?
You can only have one device per I2C address and only one probe call per
device. If you really want to use two separated drivers you could create a mfd
device and one subdevice for the gyro and accelerometer.

Agreed, not much else you can do other than refactor the driver to
handle them as two 'instances' of the iio bits called from a single
probe function with callbacks to make the shared i2c element work
reasonably... Fiddly, but its got to be that or a fall blown mfd
(not sure if the mfd side of things will bring enough benefits here...)
