If you want to keep them that is fine, I found this usage of SENSOR_LIMIT
a bit strange, and unneeded. But if you prefer to keep them, ok.

The store function used for autopoint1, will simply clamp the user
given input between -128000 and +127000 if it is out of that range. Here when
reqval is larger then autopoint1 + 80000, you do the same, but when it is
smaller then autopoint1 + 2000 you return -EINVAL. That seems inconsistent
to me. So I would like to see this store function clamp autopoint2 to
autopoint1 + 2000 (so set newval to 0) when the input-value < autopoint1 + 2000.

NB
You could add a check for input-value < autopoint1 and return -EINVAL there,
that makes sense, but just clamping is fine too.

Regards,

Hans
