Subject[PATCH/RFC] iio: hi8435: do not enable all events by default
Message-ID<tKdcS-x7-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
Having all events enabled by default is misleading.
Userspace should explicitly enable events they want to receive.

I agree in principle, but this is a userspace ABI change.  Sadly we
can't do it with out risking breaking userspace code...

One of those we should have caught in review, but now it's there
we can't actually do anything about it unless we are absolutely
sure no one will notice!
