It looks like the others are in alphabetical order (or , so would
be nice to insert the new ones in the appropriate order.

(in_accel_mag_falling is also out of order, so that could be part
of the precursor cleanup patch)

Also, missing in_accel_mag_adaptive_scale (it was added in
the driver changes.)
