This uses the SLA0 matrix, which is how the SMOCF05 configuration
exposes the mounting information for the accelerometer.

On a limited sample size of one (1) unit, the SLG0 matrix is the
identity matrix. It is unknown how the SLG0 mounting matrix would
logically affect the data, if it differed from the identity matrix.
After all, the IMU is mounted as one single unit, its mounting can't
differ on the gyroscope compared to the accelerometer.

The new `st_lsm6dsx_read_acpi_mount_matrix` function currently only
implements the *known* ACPI methods found in the wild, but the windows
driver seems to indicate more integration-specific methods could exist.

Indentation is incorrect.
