> We finally shipped sensors on SDM845, only to discover that the OnePlus 6T accelerometer was upside down

How does this happen, anyway? What does “upside-down” mean? Is there really a standard for these things in the first place? The systemd udev database is chock full of accelerometer matrix remappings.
