Good spot Colin.

There is clearly something wrong here. Looking back at the patch where
I refactored this it looks to me like I messed up a variable rename
and all those writes + setting of aux_threshlow and similar should be using
value, not val.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git/commit/?h=togreg&id=112bf4aa4afb5608d77ac9208758528bcdfae70d

The modeling we used to verify that particular feature 'worked'
was rather minimal so missed this.

I'll roll a patch an send out shortly.  No huge rush as fix can go in during
the rc phase of 5.18 if we don't get it reviewed fast enough to make the
merge window.

Thanks,

Jonathan
