That was a quick reply. I would recommend you to wait a little bit while
the first version is under discussion.

I still see the offset thing a bit weird. data->sensor_data uses an
offset to avoid hard-coded numbers, but for data->buf we do exactly
that, in the very same lines.

Setting offset to 0 to access the first element i.e. no offset required,
and then adding the actual offset sizeof(s32), which could even be a
const if the first access was to sensor_data[0], looks to verbose.

These things are of course not critical, and the proposed fix is
definitely ok, but I am missing some consistency here.
