There's no changes in that code other than me introducing a bug that'd
make it throw a warning when the sensor was already enabled. Fixed now.

Could you try again, but make sure to replace the existing iio-sensor-
proxy so it's started on boot, when the device appears. If you see the
warning again, please attach the output out from "ls" as requested in
the earlier mail.

If it doesn't warn on startup, and it fails to work, then we're
probably looking at a bug in the kernel...
