Re: BMI160 accelerometer on AyaNeo tablet

I also suspect a mistake from the hardware vendors.

I attached all DSDT decompiled, which shows that they indeed use that
ID, and I also attached the windows driver .INF which was published on
their website with the driver (https://www.ayaneo.com/downloads)


They are a small startup so they might have used the realtek ID by mistake.
I added them to the CC.

BTW, I also notice a rotation matrix embedded in DSTD, but the linux's
BMI160 driver doesn't recognize it.

Best regards,
Maxim Levitsky
