There are multiple devices because the driver predates the addition of multiple buffer support to IIO and IIRC is capable of producing data at different sampling rates for the accelerometer and the gyros. Hence when it was implemented the only choice was to register multiple devices in order to get the multiple buffers. It's ABI now so we can't fix it in an old driver unfortunately. We'd do this differently today.. The double mount_matrix for the mpu9250 is a little odd and I can't immediately spot why that one is happening. > > Best regards > > Philippe >
