Understood -- thank you for the detailed explanation. I'll drop this
series. I don't have access to any of the ADXL hardware so I cannot
validate a per-sample timestamp approximation algorithm. I'll leave
this for someone with real devices to pick up when they are ready to
implement it properly, with the correct per-sample backfilling from
the FIFO watermark timestamp.

Thanks,
