As is quite common with this sort of cleanup, it got me looking at
code that has evolved in an odd direction. In this case it was
you pointing out both buffers are same size and have same content!

Why do we have both scan and buffer?  The kx022a_trigger_handler()
could just as easily use scan (which is the cleaner solution here)

That leaves get_axis which uses st->buffer as well. Whilst it is a little
ugly, that can just use the first channel of scan as well.

If you are happy to do so could you make that change as a precursor
to this set?  I don't particularly want to leave that mess in place
now I've noticed it.

Thanks,

Jonathan
