Ok. So let me just check, in android terms, events are just readings from the sensor? These aren't events in the IIO sense of 'thresholds' being passed? If so can we map this to hwfifo_watermark[_available] using the range descriptor? We have a bit of legacy around that with hwfifo_watermark_max and hwfifo_watermark_min also defined, but should probably move towards the more standard _available form and deprecate the other two.
