Not sure if that's even relevant here, as the symbol only controls the
base driver that doesn't do anything by itself, while the LIS3_SPI/LIS3_I2C
Kconfig symbols are the interesting ones.

The help text should also reflect that I think and explain why you would
enable the symbol in the first place (which the patch description doesn't
either).
