Hello!
I've got a laptop which has an MXC6655 accelerometer, but I couldn't
get it up and running despite the driver being present in the kernel.
When I was manually doing modprobe mxc4005 - nothing happened. Journal
and dmesg don't have anything relevant in them.
And if I was trying to run monitor-sensor and start iio-sensor-proxy,
I was getting a following error:
Failed to claim accelerometer:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name :1.609
was not provided by any .service files
The device in /sys/bus/acpi/devices shows as MDA6655 instead of
MXC6655, which led me to try applying the following changes, after
which the device started working properly:

Please let me know what should my next steps be, is such patch legit
and should be submitted properly, is there anything wrong with the
code or are we able to mitigate the issue without changes in the
kernel, using udev rules for example, and if so - should we? (that
will leave such devices still broken by default)
Thank you,
Nikita Mikhailevich
The following are the debug commands that might be useful to
understand the situation, they were taken before rebuilding the kernel
