i understand the ADXL34x is a bit wonky, but what else would you
propose ?  or just leave the driver in limbo forever until people
forget about it ?

No, just till we have proper framework for it to be merged into.

that sounds fine, but is there actually something in progress for
that ?  waiting for a framework no one is working on is the same
in practice ...

I have high hopes that IIO will fill the needs of these kinds of

devices.

The fact of things is that many people are using this as pointing device.

I'm not convinced that IIO is the best place for these types of
things...

Very true - this driver was originally targeted and designed as a typical human interface input device.
