Re: Bug#1029850: linux: Driver not loaded for ST Microelectronics LSM6DS3TR-C accelerometer (acpi:SMO8B30:SMO8B30:)

[Darrell Kavanagh]

Yes, I understand that.

What I mean is that the matrix read from the DSDT by Jonathan's
amended driver is

 0 -1  0
 1  0  0
 0  0  1

and the (correct) matrix created with my new hwdb entry is

 0  1  0
-1  0  0
 0  0  1

which is the algebraic transposition (ie reflection in the diagonal)
of the DSDT one.

In other words, though the DST matrix is wrong, it is wrong in a
specific way - the rows should be the columns, and vv. I was just
wondering if this was a DSDT bug that might have been seen elsewhere
before.

BTW, there is another matrix in the DSTD, but I can't find the
associated HID (10EC5280) anywhere (Linux sysfs or Windows Powershell
system data extract). It's not a correct matrix, though - could it be
just a bit of redundant code in the DST?
