No. dell-smo8800 reads from ACPI irq number and exports /dev/freefall
device which notify userspace about falls. lis3lv02d is i2c driver which
exports axes of accelerometer. Additionaly lis3lv02d can export also
/dev/freefall if registerer of i2c device provides irq number -- which
is not case of this patch.

So both drivers are doing different things and both are useful.

IIRC both dell-smo8800 and lis3lv02d represent one HW device (that ST
microelectronics accelerometer) but due to complicated HW abstraction
and layers on Dell laptops it is handled by two drivers, one ACPI and
one i2c.

Yes, in ideal world irq number should be passed to lis3lv02d driver and
that would export whole device (with /dev/freefall too), but due to HW
abstraction it is too much complicated...

Ok, I will fix it in next patch iteration.

Yes, but I do not know how to fix it. Splitting message into two lines
generates warning. Having long line generates warning too.

Ok.

Hm... That means your notebook has ST microelectronics accelerometer
too. You could try to find it on i2c-i801 bus with userspace i2cdetect
program (part of i2c-tools) and get i2c address. If it will work we can
extend DMI name --> i2c address mapping and include your notebook too.

I have that list of confirmed Latitude devices since April 2015 but due
to problem with ACPI resource conflicts it was not possible to load i2c-
i801.ko bus driver. It was fixed only this year by commit a7ae81952cda.
So list of devices is probably not up-to-date and new appeared.
