Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The driver applies firmware-specified IRQ trigger types without configuring the sensor's polarity to match, breaking active-high interrupt configurations.

iio: accel: mma8452: Only apply trigger type when not set by firmware

This commit updates the driver to respect the firmware-provided interrupt
trigger type, falling back to an active-low trigger if no type is
specified by the firmware.

[Severity: High]
Does this cause an interrupt mismatch if the firmware specifies an
active-high interrupt?

Looking at mma8452_probe, the driver requests the IRQ with the
firmware-specified polarity, but it doesn't seem to program the sensor
hardware to match. The MMA8452 sensor defaults to active-low interrupts
after a software reset.

Because the driver doesn't update the IPOL bit in MMA8452_CTRL_REG3 when an
active-high trigger is requested, the sensor will still drive an active-low
signal. This mismatch between the IRQ controller expectation and hardware
output could lead to missed interrupts or interrupt storms.
