Whoops, sorry for not catching it before, this part is not nice:

poweron() is called each time the joystick is opened, no need to check 
(and do a printk) so often! You need to move all this check to 
lis3lv02d_add() in hp_accel.c . Moreover, don't do tricky things like 
(adev.whoami & 1): just do a:
switch (adev.whoami) {
LIS302DL_ID:
	printk(KERN_INFO DRIVER_NAME ": 1-byte sensor found.\n");
	adev.lis3lv02d_read = lis3lv02d_read_8;
	adev.mdps_max_val = 128;
	break;
LIS3LV02DL_ID:
	printk(KERN_INFO DRIVER_NAME ": 2-byte sensor found.\n");
	adev.lis3lv02d_read = lis3lv02d_read_16;
	adev.mdps_max_val = 2048;
	break;
default:
	printk(KERN_ERR DRIVER_NAME ": unknown sensor found of type %d.\n", 
adev.whoami);
	return -EINVAL;
}
