Right. I added st_lsm6dsx driver to properly support that kind of
devices (accel + gyro).
At the moment it supports LSM6DS3/3H/M/L. I guess it is not so easy to
add LSM9DSx
support since if I am not wrong on LSM9DSx accel and gyro are not independent ,
but if you enable the gyro, the accel will be enabled as well, so hw queue
management has to be reviewed.
