Technically, the way this is implemented is fine according to IIO ABI
rules. Writing any attribute can cause others to change. It does
introduce a potential pitfall though. Currently, changing the OSR will
change the sampling frequency, so you have to always write oversampling_ratio
first, then write sampling_frequency to get what you asked for. If you want
to change the OSR and keep the same sample rate, you still have to write both
attributes again.

In other drivers, I've implemented it so that the requested sampling frequency
is stored any you always get the closest sampling frequency available based on
the oversampling ratio. This way, it doesn't matter which order you write
the attributes. In that case, the actual periodic trigger source isn't set up
until we actually start sampling.

I guess we don't have to worry about fractional values here?

Why did we need to way 2 before and only 1 now when OSR == 1?
